On the news front, Nucor is set to report Q2 earnings on July 27. The company previously guided Q2 adjusted EPS of $4.50 to $4.60, significantly exceeding the analyst consensus estimate of $4.21. Multiple investment banks recently raised their price targets, including Barclays to $272, BNP Paribas to $274, and Goldman Sachs to $275, all maintaining overweight or buy ratings.

The broader steel sector showed notable strength, with Cleveland-Cliffs surging 17.46%, Reliance Steel rising 5.16%, and Steel Dynamics gaining 2.35%, reflecting strong sector-wide momentum. Nucor's Q1 results had already beaten estimates with EPS of $3.23 versus the $2.82 consensus, and the company expects all three operating segments to deliver improved Q2 results driven by higher realized selling prices.
