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

SMU looks back at stories from Decembers past, one, five, 10, and 100 years ago.

It's that time of year again. You know, that time when people wonder if those things are drones in New Jersey or if the aliens are ready to come onto the stage just in time for Inauguration Day. What will that do for steel price volatility? In any case, the SMU team finds itself in Pittsburgh this week.

The Community Chat last Wednesday with ITR economist Taylor St. Germain is worth listening to if you couldn’t tune in live. You can find the replay and Taylor’s slide deck here. You can also find SMU reporter Stephanie Ritenbaugh’s writeup of the webinar here. Taylor is Alan Beaulieu’s protégé at ITR. Many of you know Alan from his talks at SMU Steel Summit. I found Taylor’s analysis just as insightful as Alan’s.

Cracks have formed in what has been presented as the Biden administration’s united front against Nippon Steel’s play for U.S. Steel. A report from the Financial Times said parts of the administration are at odds on the deal.
Final Thoughts
It’s been another week of torrid speculation when it comes Trump and tariffs. And another week of mostly flat price movement when it comes to steel sheet and plate. As far as Trump and tariffs go, I think I might have lost track. We've potentially got 10% blanket tariffs on imports from China, 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, 100% tariffs on the BRICs, and 200% on Caterpillar. Canada might be the 51st state. Mexico could be the 52nd state. But all can be resolved if you stop by Mar-a-Lago and kiss the ring?
