Steelmakers had announced price increases effective in July of 15 dollars a ton for hot-rolled, 25 dollars a ton for cold-rolled, and 35 dollars a ton for coated, but that was before Nucor opened its third-quarter order book in early May. Nucor decided to raise prices by only 10 dollars for hot-rolled, and it left cold-rolled and coated prices unchanged. "The fact that Nucor's pricing structure is out of step with the integrated producers has a disproportionately large effect on market-pricing psychology," says Michael Gambardella of J.P. Morgan Securities. "Nucor's prices are often used as a benchmark in the industry."
