Written by Ethan Bernard


Nucor has raised its weekly consumer spot price (CSP) for hot-rolled (HR) coil by $10 per short ton (st) to $720/st.

The price had been steady at $710/st for the past two weeks.

HR prices for Nucor subsidiary California Steel Industries (CSI) also rose on Monday. The company aims to collect $780/st, representing a $25/st increase from the previous week

Lead times will remain on offer at 3-5 weeks, but Nucor said customers should contact their district sales manager for availability. Published extras will apply to all spot transactions.

SMU’s Sept. 3 check of the market put current HR coil spot prices in the range of $660-720/st, averaging $690/st. The average fell $10/st from the previous week, the first decline in over a month.
