I was asked this evening if the JSW Ohio production tonnage is included in the weekly raw steel production report produced by the American Iron & Steel Institute (AISI). In the fine print of their weekly report, the AISI states that 1st Quarter 2019 production is estimated at 30.5 million tons, which is lower than the 30.8 million tons estimated for 4th Quarter 2018. It is higher than the 30.0 million tons estimated for 1st Quarter 2018. The AISI does not share how they determine these quarterly numbers. Sometimes you can figure it out on your own, sometimes it is not so clear. With JSW Ohio just beginning production, it is doubtful that their tonnage is included in the report. The weekly tonnage reported by the AISI is available in tonight’s newsletter in a separate article.

The difference: The spat with Turkey was a big deal for steel. This time, the 50% reciprocal tariff for Brazil – if it goes into effect as threatened on Aug.1 – hits everything from coffee and to pig iron. It seems almost custom-built to inflict as much pain as possible on Brazil.
Final Thoughts
Are we on the cusp of sorting out the tariff situation, or is this merely another round in the bout?

I’m not sure how many different ways I can write that it’s been a quiet market ahead of Independence Day. There are variations on that theme. I’ve heard everything from the ominous “eerily quiet” to "getting better" and even the occasional “blissfully unaware” (because I’m enjoying my vacation).
Final Thoughts
What's going to be the next big thing in steel?

Based on the amount of ‘out of office’ replies we’ve been receiving and the results of this week’s steel buyers’ survey, those pesky summer doldrums have arrived for the steel industry.
