Another exciting week in the steel industry…
A couple of reminders:
With four months yet to go we are marching toward 400 registered executives for the 2019 SMU Steel Summit Conference, which will be held in Atlanta on Aug. 26-28. This is THE premier networking event for the steel industry during the calendar year. Here are just a few of the registrations we have received this week (the * means more than one person from that company is registered): NLMK USA*, Nucor*, Precoat Metals, Scrap Metal Services*, Valmont, Priefert Manufacturing*, State Steel Supply* and Kloeckner Metals. You can register for your spot by clicking on this link or going to: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel-Summit
With two weeks to go we still have a few seats available for the SMU Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop, which will be held in Davenport, Iowa, on the 14th and 15th of May. The workshop will include a tour of the SSAB steel mill. For details go to: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel101
Next week is the Metals Industry Boy Scout Dinner at the Hyatt in Chicago. I highly recommend attending this dinner as it is probably the second-best networking event behind our conference (in my humble opinion). You can find more information on their website, which I have linked to here.
On June 17, the CRU Group will host a Steel Briefing in New York City. Lewis Leibowitz and I will be opening the conference. We will be discussing how trade is impacting the steel industry. This is a free event and you can register by clicking on this link.
I am here in my office for the balance of this week and will begin traveling again next Wednesday as I head off for Chicago.
As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
John Packard, President & CEO

When a mapmaker constructs a map, it’s always to the contours of the land. Or sea. That is, the mapmaker doesn’t say, “Look, these rocks really don’t belong here, so I’m not going to include them in the harbor map.” Uncharted rocks, sink ships (along with loose lips).
Final Thoughts
We had an October surprise here at SMU on Wednesday. I was working from the CRU office in Pittsburgh, and the internet connection briefly went out. As luck would have it, that happened smack in the middle of a live Community Chat webinar. Fortunately, my colleague David Schollaert stepped in, Zekelman Industries CEO Barry Zekelman rolled with the punches – and the show went on. Could there be any more October surprises in store for us and for the steel market?
Final Thoughts
We just wrapped up another Steel 101 workshop, easily the most hands-on industry workshop on steelmaking and market fundamentals, in this humble opinion. Last week on Tuesday and Wednesday, SMU’s Steel 101 was held in Starkville, Miss.
Final Thoughts
Everybody has an opinion about politics these days. More importantly for our readers, though, every business has a bottom line. A popular question in our most recent steel buyers survey asked how uncertainty around the upcoming US presidential election could affect that line.

I’m trying to make sure this is not a TL;DR Final Thoughts. As a journalism school professor once told me, ‘No one but your mom reads more than 1,000 words.’ Also, as the old adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand as well. With that in mind, below are a couple of charts that I think go a long way toward explaining how prices and lead times have been relatively stable despite concerns about demand.
