Steel Mill Products Prices Rise a Tenth Month to 388.6

Steel Mill Products Prices rose for a tenth straight month in September 2026, reaching 388.6, up 27.6% on the year. Illustrative only: if an unchanged steel mill products basket costs $250,000 now and tracks this index exactly, a 27.6% year-over-year move implies $54,075 more than a year ago. This is not a measured purchasing bill.

consecutive increases: 10 months. from 291.6 after November 2025 to 388.6

The run began after November 2025, when the series stood at 291.6 — a climb of 33.3% 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.
