I want to make sure that all of you thinking of attending this year’s SMU Steel Summit Conference are aware of some of changes, so you can plan your schedules accordingly. First, the CME Group will be hosting a Price Risk Management Workshop in the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway Hotel (next to GICC) from 10:30 a.m. until noon on Monday, Aug. 26. Second, the conference will begin on Monday afternoon at 1 p.m. in the Georgia International Convention Center. First up will be Chris Houlden and Josh Spoores of the CRU Group and myself. We will be discussing some of the proprietary indices we produce, and CRU will discuss their price forecast for the balance 2019 and 2020. Third, the CRU Group will host an Aluminum Conference immediately following the SMU Steel Summit Conference.

Sometimes new presidential administrations hit the ground running. No time for change like the present. And sometimes new administrations blast off on a SpaceX rocket bound for Mars. There’s a big universe, and we’ve got a lot of flags to plant. Such seems to be the case with the new Trump administration.

What’s been the impact of tariff threats on prices and demand? In short, not much – or at least that was the case when I was writing this column on Sunday afternoon.
