It is hard to believe that we are now under 30 days until the start of the 2018 SMU Steel Summit Conference. We have eclipsed our most optimistic goal having reached 805 registrations late last week. With 29 days to go (and fingers crossed there are no hurricanes this year), you can expect 820-850 people to attend this year’s event. Last year’s record attendance was 650 executives… You can add to the record by registering online: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel-Summit or you can contact our office at 772-932-7538.
I mentioned our Steel 201 workshop in an article in tonight’s issue. I think this will be a very special opportunity to learn more about the steelmaking process and I highly recommend it for a wide cross-section of the industry. Whether you are an executive with many years of experience, or you just want to give the new person some training that isn’t easily gotten elsewhere, this is the workshop for you. You can learn more and can register online: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel-Summit or you can contact me at 800-432-3475.
I am in the office all week this week (and next for that matter) as we continue to ramp up for this year’s conference. There is an incredible amount of work yet to be done and our team is working hard to make this another exceptional experience for our attendees. I want to thank Ray Culley, Jill Waldman, Brett Linton, Diana Packard and Alison LaLonde for all of their hard work to date.
We are releasing our SMU Events App for all of those registered to attend this year’s conference. You will receive an email from us with more instructions on Monday morning at 9 AM eastern time. If you are attending our conference, you will want to download our App and use it prior to, during and after the conference.
As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
John Packard, President & CEO

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.
