[Plate/HRC] Plate export prices ease, HRC deals at 488-495 USD/tonne

On 10 July China's HRC and other plate export prices fell 1-2 USD/tonne day on day, with HRC export deals at 488-495 USD/tonne

FOB. A recent slowdown in yuan appreciation pushed prices modestly lower during the week; overseas demand showed no clear

improvement and export order-taking stayed quiet.

[Billet] Export billet FOB steady at 459-462 USD/tonne FOB Jiangyin, order-taking weak

On 10 July China's export billet FOB price held steady, quoted at 459-462 USD/tonne at Jiangyin port. According to market

feedback, although there were inquiries, deal prices in some Southeast Asian import markets were about 10 USD/tonne below

domestic offers; with limited room for concessions, mills' billet export order-taking remained unsatisfactory, with most order

shipments in August-September.

[Rebar] Export rebar prices little changed, typhoon slows southeast-coast shipments

On 10 July, according to market feedback, export rebar prices have shown little movement recently with relatively limited room for

negotiation; typhoon weather has slowed the pace of shipments from southeast coastal areas.
