Final Thoughts
Written by John Packard
I spent today working on two projects. First was contacting and communicating with flat rolled and plate steel buyers in order to get a sense of the current spot price offers/transactions and where the markets are heading over the near term. The second project was working on the 2020 SMU Steel Summit Conference. As with many of the projects I am involved, many of the conversations covered both topics as I have been soliciting suggestions from steel buyers regarding what topics are expected to be key by the end of August, and what speakers would the industry like to see. I will speak on these topics in my Final Thoughts this evening.
There is never a simple answer when speaking to steel buyers. Especially when it comes to pricing. I guess that is why this business is so interesting.
