Final Thoughts
Written by Tim Triplett
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the millions of people on the West Coast who are suffering the threat and devastation of historic forest fires. The loss of life and property is staggering. And the blow to business and commerce in the region has yet to be measured. Face masks are doing double duty against COVID and smoke. There’s limited information at the moment, but Steel Market Update will try to report on how the fires are impacting manufacturing in California and Oregon in upcoming issues.
The Commerce Department will host a series of webinars on how to use its new SIMA import monitoring system. More information about the webinars can be found at https://www.trade.gov/updates-steel-import-licensing.
