Minnesota-Scrap Smoke Signals



   This month’s speaker is Lisa Gordon, part of the American Metal Market editorial team. In addition to following the steel industry, Lisa also keeps a close eye on the scrap industry as it is the harbinger of steel prices and the general economy. Come and learn:

• Why scrap is the leading indicator of steel prices
• How scrap surcharges came into effect
• How scrap prices drive steel prices
• How following scrap can make you a more valuable employee
• Why scrap will become even more important in the future
• Is there a pending scrap shortage? (The answer, surprisingly enough, is no)

In addition, some of the commonly used confusing lingo such as ‘cut grades’ will be deciphered. Lisa has the ability to communicate in an easy to understand manner. By the end of the evening, attendees –even with limited knowledge on the raw material—will be able to talk scrap.
