NLMK USA has opened its April order book at new, higher base prices for steel sheet, according to market participants.
The steelmaker is seeking at least $900 per short ton (st) for hot-rolled (HR) coil and at least $1,100/st for cold-rolled and coated products, they said.
NLMK USA has not written the increase on company letterhead, sources said.
NLMK USA operates an electric-arc furnace (EAF) steel mill in Portage, Ind., a hot-strip mill and a cold-reduction mill in Farrell, Pa., and a galvanizing facility in Sharon, Pa. The Portage mill has a capacity of 800,000 st per year.
The company has a smaller presence in the US than major sheet mills such as Nucor, Cleveland-Cliffs, Steel Dynamics Inc. (SDI), and U.S. Steel. But it is a significant player in the spot market.
