Final Thoughts

It’s May 1st and a new month has begun. This month is going to be an important one for Steel Market Update and our readers. We will be sending out a link to a questionnaire as we strive to improve our product for our members. We are trying to learn more about who you are, what you like about SMU and how we can better serve your needs. We will be sending a link out in a special issue of SMU later this week.

For the steel service centers who are participating in our flat rolled and plate steel inventories index, be advised that I will be going out with my first request for data on Thursday, May 3, as I would like to produce our “Flash Report” by no later than early next week. If you are a service center or wholesaler who inventories prime flat rolled or plate steel and would like to be part of our confidential analysis, please send me a note: John@SteelMarketUpdate.com with any questions that you might have for me. As a data provider, you will receive our Flash Report as well as the full report, which will come out approximately one week after the Flash Report. Beginning in July 2018, the service center inventories full report will only be available to Premium level members and the Flash Report will only go to participating service centers/wholesalers.
