    On Monday, we will begin our mid-January flat rolled and plate steel market trends questionnaire, and by the end of the week we will publish our analysis. Our Premium level members will be able to review our analysis, which will be presented in a PowerPoint presentation on Friday. Those who participate in this week’s questionnaire will also be granted access to the presentation. If you would like to be added to our invitation list, or if you would like to learn more about becoming a Premium subscriber, please contact us at info@SteelMarketUpdate.com

Here is a video of Beaulieu from the 2019 Conference.
