Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. aims to increase spot prices for carbon steel sheet by at least $75 per ton ($3.75 per cwt).
The move is effectively immediately and applies to equally to all new orders of hot-rolled, cold-rolled and coated products in North America, the company said in a press release on Wednesday, Aug. 24.
It comes after domestic competitor Nucor Corp. announced a price hike of $50 per ton in early August and after reports of certain domestic mills more recently lowering spot prices.
SMU’s hot-rolled coil price stands at $770 per ton, down $30 per ton from last week and marking the lowest prices for HRC since late November 2020.
