Nucor said on Monday, Dec. 30, that it was keeping its spot base price for hot-rolled sheet this week at $750 per short ton (st).
The Charlotte, N.C.-based steelmaker has held its consumer spot price (CSP) at this amount since the middle of November.
Additionally, the weekly spot base price for HR from California Steel Industries (CSI) remains at the same level as previously at $810/st.
The company said lead times for all spot orders will be offered between 3-5 weeks.
SMU will next update our hot-rolled coil prices on Tuesday, Jan. 7.
