Nucor’s consumer spot price (CSP) for hot-rolled (HR) coil is unchanged this week at $730 per short ton (st).
This marks the third consecutive week the Charlotte, N.C-based steelmaker has kept its spot HR price at $730/st. The weekly price is up just $20/st since the start of September. It’s up a more significant $80/st from a low of $650/st in July.
This week’s CSP from Nucor remains at the top of SMU’s current price range of $680-730/st for HR coil. The average HR price established in our Oct. 1 check of the market was $705/st. We will again update prices this Tuesday.
Nucor also told customers on Monday that it would maintain the $790/st CSP for HR purchased from its West Coast joint venture subsidiary, California Steel Industries (CSI).
