US hot-rolled coil prices remained flat

US hot rolled coil (HRC) prices remained flat this week, as buyers were cautious and limited their purchases to contract volumes. Although mills kept their offer prices high, at least one mill discussed selling at lower levels.

The average HRC selling price was reported at $1,175/short ton, with lead times in June. Import pricing fell, but longer lead times made imported material unattractive to domestic buyers.

The HRC import assessment into Houston fell by $30/short ton to $950/short ton on offers from Brazil into Houston.

Some service centers reported that mills have been delivering steel early, in some cases four weeks ahead of time.
