    Final Thoughts

    Written by John Packard


    We will begin our mid-September flat rolled steel market trends analysis first thing on Monday morning. Invitations to participate will go out at 8 AM ET tomorrow morning. We currently send out approximately 650 invitations.

    Note: We are correcting the galvanized comparison of coating extras as Nucor has not yet made a change to the schedule they are using. I also want to remind our readers that when reviewing our CPI, or on Tuesdays our galvanized .060″ G90 pricing, we continue to use the existing U.S. Steel extras and not the new NLMK USA extras. I know that at least one index has gone to the higher extras. We will not make a move until U.S. Steel, Nucor and ArcelorMittal decide what they are going to do.
