Happy Mother’s Day (at least for one more hour here on the East Coast)…
We are beginning our mid-May flat rolled steel market trends survey at 8 AM ET tomorrow (Monday) morning. If you receive an invitation to participate please take a few minutes to click on the button on your invitation and complete our questionnaire. At the end of this week we will have a Power Point presentation which is available to those who participate in the survey as well as our Premium level customers.
I will be traveling beginning on Wednesday as I head for Atlanta to meet with the Georgia International Convention Center (www.GICC.com), the Marriott Gateway Hotel and the new AV company that will be working with SMU to bring the look and feel of the 2017 conference to a new level. As of this evening we have 105 days remaining before the 7th SMU Steel Summit Conference begins. Tell your steel friends, suppliers and customers to meet us in Atlanta on August 28, 29 & 30th.
I want to take a moment to thank trade attorney Lewis Leibowitz for all of the support he has given Steel Market Update, our readers and those attending our conferences as we try to navigate AD/CVD, Section 337, Circumvention and now the Section 232 investigation. I hope you are finding his help valuable. He will be working with SMU again at this year’s SMU Steel Summit Conference as he teams with former ITC Chairman, Daniel Pearson of the Cato Institute to help our attendees better understand all of the trade suits, deposits, duties, remedies and maybe what’s next. We added a special Pre-Summit program on Monday afternoon. Plan on arriving early and staying until the end. We still have surprises to come.
As always your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.

It’s once again A Tale of Two Cities in the steel market. Some are almost euphoric about Trump’s victory. Others, some rather bearish, are more focused on the day-to-day market between now and Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.

One of the perhaps unintentional perks of being a trade journalist is the opportunity to travel and cover an array of industry conferences and events. Some I've attended have been at fun locations, like Palm Springs and Tampa, Fla. Others have been in more practical locations, like SMU’s Steel Summit in Atlanta and American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) and Steel Manufacturers Association (SMA) meetings in Washington, D.C.

t this point in the game I think what we can say about Nippon Steel’s proposed buy of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel is that it will go through, it won’t go through, or the outcome will be something new and completely unexpected. Then again, I’m probably still missing a few options.
Final Thoughts
President-elect Donald Trump continues to send shockwaves through the political establishment (again). And steel markets and ferrous scrap markets continue to be, well, anything but shocking. As the French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr wrote in 1849, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." (I thought the quote might have been Yankees catcher Yogi Berra in 1949. Google taught me something new today.)
Final Thoughts
President-elect Donald Trump will officially retake the White House on Jan. 20. I’ve been getting questions about how his administration’s policies might reshape the steel industry and domestic manufacturing. I covered the tumult and norm busting of Trump's first term: Section 232, Section 301, USMCA - and that's just on the trade policy side of things. It's safe to say that we'll have no shortage of news in 2025 when it comes to trade and tariffs.
