Nucor has increased the spot price for hot-rolled coil by $10 to $1,200 per short tonne, continuing a trend of weekly price rises amid tight supply in the US flat steel market. Similar price hikes are seen in long steel products by Nucor and Gerdau, while European competitors also raise prices due to raw material and energy costs.
