The Sky is Not Falling, Just Some Nuts Rolling on the Ground...

The following article is the opinion of Steel Market Update (SMU) founder and publisher, John Packard.
There is a new kid in town, his/her name is Big River Steel. No other steel mills like BRS because they are taking market share and, well, everyone wants to keep all of their toys. Big River Steel Arkansas location is very close to two Nucor facilities and not that far away from SDI Columbus or US Steel Granite City. For the month of January BRS produced 63,000 tons of hot rolled. Usually new mills “ramp up” production so the expectation is they will produce more steel in February, March, April…well, you get the picture.
