Final Thoughts

For those of you who are interested the Metal Service Center Institute (MSCI) shipment and inventory data is scheduled to be released tomorrow (Wednesday). We will have a full report for our Executive members in Thursday’s issue and our Apparent Excess and Price Forecast and another more detailed report for our Premium level members later this week.

Our Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making & Market Fundamentals workshop is now about 60 percent full. We are looking forward to spring in the Chicago area and our visit to the NLMK USA steel mill which is located in Portage, Indiana. The dates for the workshop are May 19 & 20th and the location is the Radisson at Star Plaza in Merrillville, Indiana. Come join myself and my fine team of highly experienced steel instructors: John Eckstein, Peter Wright, Steve Painter and Mario Briccetti as we interact with our attendees about the steel making process, how steel is sold, where it is used, how qualities are produced, how commodities and world events impact pricing and what makes a good supplier/customer relationship and much more.
