For the first time at a SMU Steel Summit Conference I will be speaking about a couple of our proprietary indices, including our Service Center Inventories Indices on flat rolled and plate. If you are not a data provider, you will want to be there to learn more about how we got to here and where we will be going with our index. The index will be shared with PREMIUM level members beginning in September.
Steel 101 registrations are still open for the October 8-9 workshop in Cincinnati, Ohio with a tour of the Nucor Gallatin steel mill. Details can be found at www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/events/steel101
Many of you will be coming up for renewal for our newsletter. Please contact Paige Mayhair at 724-720-1012 or by email: Paige@SteelMarketUpdate.com and she can discuss upgrading to Premium or expanding to a Regional or Global arrangement where you can share the newsletter with all the people in your company if you so choose. Paige can also help with your renewal for the existing level (note: we no longer have a single person level. We want you to open-up more people to our newsletter). See Paige for details.
As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
