Iron and Steel Prices Rise a Tenth Month to 383.3

Iron and Steel Prices rose for a tenth straight month in September 2026, reaching 383.3, up 20.7% on the year. Illustrative only: if an unchanged iron and steel basket costs $250,000 now and tracks this index exactly, a 20.7% year-over-year move implies $42,875 more than a year ago. This is not a measured purchasing bill.

consecutive increases: 10 months. from 307.9 after November 2025 to 383.3

The run began after November 2025, when the series stood at 307.9 — a climb of 24.5% over the streak.

A run this long changes how the next print reads: a decline would end a 10-month pattern and would be news in its own right, while an eleventh consecutive increase would extend one of the longer streaks in this archive. Source: BLS Producer Price Index.
