What Is Nucor?
The scrap-fired optimist.
Nucor is one of the largest steel producers in the United States and the company that changed how the metal is made, melting recycled scrap in electric arc mini mills instead of smelting ore in blast furnaces. Steel is a cyclical trade, priced off construction, tariffs and the industrial mood, so you would expect its crowd to flinch at every headline. On the CFGI Nucor fear and greed index, the record instead shows a crowd that kept its nerve through a near doubling of the share price.
The CFGI read: Nucor logged exactly 1 day of Extreme Fear in its 273-day window, on 1 July 2026, and the price that day was $219.02, far above the $125.99 the stock started the window at. Only 7 of 245 stocks shared the zone that session, a private flinch inside a public climb rather than a market event. On the other side of the ledger sit 14 days of Extreme Greed.
Nucor Fear and Greed Index History
Q3 2026 breakdown. The table below updates daily.
Between 23 June 2025 and 24 July 2026 Nucor rose 96%, from $125.99 to $246.95, touching $266.35 on 12 June 2026. The crowd graded that climb with patience: 114 days in Neutral, 95 in Greed and an average reading of 54. Its best stretch ran 27 sessions in Greed or better from 8 April to 14 May 2026, including 5 straight days of Extreme Greed, and the curious detail is that the peak score of 86 out of 100 on 22 April printed at $214.26, a lower price than the day the crowd panicked ten weeks later. The index measures the crowd's temperature, not the tape.
June supplied the drama. The steepest one-day fall of Nucor's year came on 17 June 2026, 28 points from 64 to 36, answered by a 22-point rebound to 54 on 25 June and then that solitary Extreme Fear print of 19 on 1 July. The recovery since has been complete: the stock closed its window at 78, in Greed, on 24 July 2026. Among the stocks we rank, Nucor sits 197th by average fearfulness, one of the calmer crowds contributing to the full Fear and Greed Index.

What is a good Nucor Fear and Greed Index reading?
There is no single good reading, because the index measures mood rather than value. Extreme Fear below 25 marks the points where sentiment is most washed out, and Extreme Greed above 75 the points carrying the most risk, so what counts as good depends on whether you are buying or selling.

It measures the emotional state of the Nucor market on a 0 to 100 scale, from extreme fear at 0 to extreme greed at 100. CFGI builds that number from ten indicators including price action, volatility, volume, momentum, technicals and social sentiment, rather than from price alone.
How do I use the Nucor Fear and Greed Index?
Most people use it to size risk rather than to time entries. The extreme readings are the useful ones: they flag when the crowd has become one-sided, which is when caution costs least and greed costs most. Read it alongside price and volume, never on its own.
