Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
I have just returned from three days in New Orleans where I attended the HARDI annual conference. I spoke to the steel council on Sunday, and I referenced some of my comments in Sunday evening’s issue of Steel Market Update.
I stayed until this morning because I wanted to hear Alan Beaulieu speak to see if there have been any changes to his views on the economy, voiced at the end of August at the SMU Steel Summit Conference. Essentially, there have not been any significant changes as he is still forecasting a slowdown in the economy over the first two quarters of 2020, but not enough to signal a recession.
