Nucor said on Monday that it would keep its weekly hot-rolled (HR) coil price flat this week.
In a letter to customers, the company said its consumer spot price (CSP) for the week of June 3 will remain $780 per short ton (st).
The sideways move comes after two consecutive weeks of a $10/st increases the HR coil CSP from the $760/st price point Nucor set at the start of May.
The steelmaker noted that the HR base price at its California Steel Industries (CSI) subsidiary will remain at $840/st. The higher price reflects the difference between the West Coast market and the rest of the country.
