Final Thoughts

With the Wheatland Tube filing of a complaint against China using the ENFORCE Act we are about to enter the next stage of trade complaints. The Wheatland complaint is for circumvention of duties that already exist against Chinese products, so it will be interesting how quickly this first test case takes and will Customs and Border Protection find in favor of the U.S. manufacturer. We will be watching this closely in the coming weeks (and months).

I believe we have two to maybe up to four seats left for our next Steel 101: Introduction to Steel Making and Market Fundamentals workshop which will be held in Memphis, Tennessee and will include a tour of the brand new Big River Steel (BRS) steel mill. The dates are November 15-16, 2016. You can learn more about the workshop on our website: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com or by contacting our office at 800-432-3475.
