SMU Steel Price Ranges & Indices: Steel Price Up Again

SMU found no evidence of a summer lull in our latest check of the market. Sheet prices were flat or up in a post-holiday period that in prior years has seen them slip. Hot-rolled coil and cold-rolled coil prices were unchanged. Galvanized and Galvalume prices were up $25 per ton and $50 per ton, respectively.

That means SMU’s Galvalume price is above $2,000 per ton for the first time ever. And galvanized prices are just below that threshold.
