CRU, CME to Host Webinar on HRC Price Volatility

Written by Tim Triplett


Hot-Rolled Coil Price Volatility: Buckle Up

As a Steel Market Update member company as well as those on a free trial, you are invited to join CRU and CME for a free steel webinar on hot rolled coil prices on Thursday, April 18.

U.S. Midwest HR coil price volatility has increased markedly in recent months as opaque policy decision-making processes and inelasticity of domestic supply have led to large variations in physical market price. At the same time, volume and open interest on CME HRC futures and options contracts have surged. This webinar will cover all these issues.

Date: Thursday, April 18, 2019

Times: 9.00 BST (London) – or – 10.00 EST (New York)

On the agenda:

  • Causes of U.S. Midwest HR coil price volatility;
  • Understanding future market fundamentals and prices;
  • Managing price risk now.

Presenters will include Chris Houlden (CRU), Josh Spoores (CRU), and Sean Kessler (CME). The webinar will last approximately 45 minutes and will include Q&A with the presenters. Questions may be submitted during the webinar and upon registration.
