Written by David Schollaert
Nucor has increased its consumer spot price (CSP) for hot-rolled (HR) coil for a fourth consecutive week.
As of Monday, Nov. 17, the steelmaker’s list price for HR stood at $910 per short ton (st), up $15/st from last week.
It’s the first time its CSP has been at or above $900/st since July 28, according to SMU’s mill price announcement calendar.
The company has increased HR prices by $35/st over the past four weeks.
Nucor’s West Coast joint venture, California Steel Industries (CSI), increased its HR price by $10/st week on week (w/w) to $960/st.
Despite the repeated price bump, lead times for all spot orders remain at 3-5 weeks, Nucor said.
SMU’s HRC price averaged $830/st fob mill, east of the Rockies, as of Tuesday, Nov. 11. That’s up $5/st w/w.
You can find weekly price assessment information each Tuesday evening.
