Steel prices continued to fall this month and may drop further as demand from automakers and builders has yet to rebound, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said.

Steel prices have plunged by more than half from a record $1,068 a ton in July as sales of automobiles, appliances and homes slowed.

Nucor Corp. revised its first-quarter forecast last week to a loss from a profit because of lower demand.
