Steel Dynamics (SDI) has lowered metallic coating extras in response to declining zinc and aluminum prices.
The new extras are effective Aug. 1, 2022. They apply not only to galvanized products but also to Galvalume, Galfan, and aluminized material, the Fort Wayne, Ind.-based steelmaker said.
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.
