Iron and Steel Prices Climb to 383.3

Iron and Steel Prices climb 1.5% in September 2026 to 383.3 and up 20.7% from a year earlier. 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.

  • September 2026: 383.3
  • on the month: +1.5%
  • on the year: +20.7%

The print sits 100% of the way up the archived range of 307.9 (November 2025) to 383.3 (September 2026), with the standing trend rising.

The year-over-year comparison is against September 2025, which printed 317.5. Source: BLS Producer Price Index. The number above is the agency's published value, unrounded; the history and any later revisions stay queryable on the live data page.
