Nucor lowered its consumer spot price (CSP) for hot-rolled (HR) coil by another $10 per short ton (st) for the first week of July.
The steelmaker said in a letter to customers on Monday that its CSP base price for the week will be $670/st for all of its sheet mills with the exception of California Steel Industries (CSI).
This is the fourth consecutive week of declines in Nucor’s CSP. It’s now fallen by $110/st since the start of June.
Note that Nucor’s $670/st HR price this week is the same as SMU’s average spot HR price of $670/st established on Tuesday last week.
Meanwhile, CSI’s HR base price will be $750/st this week, a drop of $10/st from the previous week and down $90/st from the first week of June.
Nucor’s letter said lead times of 3-5 weeks will continue to be offered but to contact district sales managers for availability.
