Written by Brett Linton


On Tuesday, Nov. 12, Nucor increased its weekly consumer spot price (CSP) for hot-rolled (HR) coil this week to $750 per short ton (st).

The CSP had been $740/st for the two previous weeks. A month ago, it was $720/st.

The HR coil base price for Nucor subsidiary CSI also increased by $10/st to $810/st this week. It was $800/st for the two weeks before that and $780/st one month ago.

The Charlotte, N.C-based steelmaker noted that lead times of 3-5 weeks continue to be offered, and customers should contact their district sales manager for availability. Published extras will apply to all spot transactions.

SMU’s Nov. 5 check of the market had HR coil spot prices ranging from $640-720/st, averaging $680/st, down $5/st from the week prior. We will update our price indices this evening.
