US major steelmaker Nucor Corporation raised its consumer spot price (CSP) for hot-rolled coil to $1,210 per short ton on September 22, 2026. This move marks a sequential $10-per-ton increase following the $1,200 level established the previous week. The consecutive price hikes signal an aggressive attempt by North American flat-rolled producers to consolidate a definitive price floor ahead of fourth-quarter contract negotiations.
