Steelworkers from around the country descended on Washington this week to ask their legislators one thing: What’s happening with the Trump Administration’s Section 232 investigation? As a candidate, President Donald Trump talked tough on trade and told blue collar voters that he would bring back the steel jobs that left their towns. And, early on his presidency, it seemed like steel would be a focus. |

The American Institute for International Steel recently hosted a forum in Washington DC for those likely to be negatively impacted by steel import restrictions that could follow the government’s ongoing Section 232 investigation. They included speakers representing US traders, ports and steel end-users who believe the outcome of the 232 case — aimed at limiting imports on national security grounds — could have negative economic consequences for the US and serve to ultimately weaken US security. |

Apparently borrowing a page from the Trump playbook, the outgoing Obama administration filed a new trade enforcement action with the World Trade Organization against China earlier this month, alleging that the country has not met its market access commitments to the WTO for rice, wheat and corn. agriculture, China, corn, grains, markets, Policy, prices, rice, subsidies, trade, trade cases, trade flows, US, wheat, WTO

One day before the American people went to the polls to elect their next president, the US Department of Commerce made another pivotal decision that directly benefitted domestic sheet steel producers but didn’t make for splashy headlines. “US starts China-related anti-circumvention probes on Vietnamese steel,” the headline on Platts.com read. It doesn’t sound very exciting — not compared to all of the tumultuous Trump/Clinton presidential race coverage — but it was to those directly affected. |

After Sunday night’s sad and nasty US presidential debate it’s hard to focus on the relatively small exchange the candidates had about American steel. It came towards the end of a brawl that one commentator likened to watching a cobra and a mongoose fighting in a small cage. |

On August 5, US sheet producers saw the culmination of many months of work as the US Department of Commerce released its final determinations of countervailing and anti-dumping duties against hot-rolled coil (HRC) imports, the last of the three major unfair trade cases on sheet steel. |

A couple decades or so ago, Bethlehem Steel, then the USA’s second largest steelmaker, introduced a team of trade attorneys as it was about to embark on another round of massive unfair trade case filings against steel imports. It wasn’t unusual for mills to have trade case attorneys, either in-house or on retainer, but Bethlehem was making a statement: This is how we roll. International steel dumpers, we’re coming to get you. |

Anglo American said recently it would scrap its dividend this year and next, hugely reduce capex and look to sell all its lossmaking assets. The move — deemed unsurprising by some and insufficient to a few — is a testimony to the primary issue facing the ferrous mining and metals market: China’s slowdown.

So I’m outside smoking a cigar (yes, my one bad habit) at Chicago’s Fairmont Hotel during a break from last week’s sessions of worldsteel-49 — the annual gathering of top global steelmaking CEOs. A tall, distinguished-looking gentleman joins me, lighting a cigarette. It’s Haijian Gao, chairman of China’s Magang (Group) Holding Co. Ltd. |

China’s all too apparent slowdown is all the rage. The Shanghai Composite lost more than a fifth of its value over the five days to Wednesday August 26, with record one-day plummets witnessed Monday and Tuesday. China’s steel industry, which in recent years seemed to become untouchable as it shipped product the world over, is now gaining more attention from importing countries and soon could also feel the crunch of recent market changes.
