US HRC spot prices surge to 12-year high

摘要

Hot-rolled coil prices in the United States have surpassed $930 per short ton, reaching levels not seen in well over a decade. Fastmarkets' daily steel hot-rolled coil index, fob mill US was calculated at $46.78 per hundredweight ($935.60 per ton) on Monday December 14, up by 2.8 from $45.49 per cwt on Friday and by 6.6 from $43.89 per cwt one week earlier. Inputs were received in a wide range of roughly $41-51.50 per cwt. The index's outlier ilter automatically removed inputs on the low, and high end of this range. This range represents confirmed purchases, deals heard, mill offers and assessments of current spot market prices.
