    Nucor keeps HR price at $910/ton

    Written by Ethan Bernard

    Nucor is holding its list price for spot hot-rolled coil at $910 per short ton (st), unchanged since June 30.

    While the Charlotte, N.C.-based steelmaker’s consumer spot price (CSP) has maintained that level over the previous two weeks, it marks a $10 increase from a month earlier.

    Nucor also said in a letter to customers on Monday that the price at its West Coast joint venture, California Steel Industries (CSI), is $970/st, also unchanged since June 30.

    The company said it would continue to offer HR lead times of 3-5 weeks.

    SMU’s average HRC price stood at $870/st as of Tuesday, July 8. That’s down $10 from the previous week but up $10 from a month earlier.

    CRU: Global finished steel prices diverge, US the rare bright spot

    CRU: Global finished steel prices have diverged in August, with longs softening while sheet and plate firmed in most regions. Weak construction demand persisted across most longs markets, with the US the notable exception. Higher sheet prices were driven by tightening supply in the US and reduced import attractiveness in Europe, even as APAC sheet prices declined. Plate prices were mostly firmer across APAC, stable to down in Europe, and continued climbing in the US.
