US hot-rolled coiled prices have fallen below $1,200 per ton ($60 per cwt) for the first time since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.
SMU’s hot-rolled coil price stands at $1,190 per ton ($59.50 per cwt), down $65 per ton from last week and down $290 per ton from a post-war high of $1,480 per ton in mid-April.
Nucor's consumer spot price for hot-rolled increased by $10/st w/w on Monday, Oct. 5 to $1,230 per short ton.
SSAB Americas aims to increase base plate prices by at least $60 per short ton (st), according to a letter sent to customers on Monday.
Nucor said on Thursday evening it plans to increase plate prices by $60 per short ton (st) as it opens its November order book.
Sheet and plate prices continued to inch higher on a combination of scarce spot tons, long lead times, lean inventories, and stable demand.
Nucor said its consumer spot price for hot-rolled coil will be $1,220 per short ton (st) for the week of Sept. 28. That's a 10/st increase from a week earlier.
