Cleveland-Cliffs is keeping its market price for hot-rolled (HR) coil flat at $750 per short ton (st) with the opening of its December order book.
That price is unchanged from the steelmaker’s previous price announcement made in September and $20/st higher than August’s notice.
“Although the supply chain has extended destocking through the third quarter, it is not sustainable and the value of our hot-rolled product continues to be reflected in a $750/ton base price,” the steelmaker said in a letter to customers on Wednesday.
The $750/st price applies to all new spot orders.
The letter adds for customers to inquire about lead times and availability.
Cliffs’ published HR base price is $10/st higher than competitor Nucor’s $740/st spot price set at the start of this week. Nucor posts its HR base price weekly, while Cliffs posts its market price monthly.
