SMM News Flash:

[HRC] Today's HRC export prices rose $1/mt MoM, with most market quotes above $500/mt. However, according to market feedback, a quote of $480/mt was seen today, likely an MD price.

[India] Domestic steel mill prices in India remained stable, with ex-factory prices at 625-630 USD/tonne. Mills held prices firm due to good order-taking and upward cost pressure. However, spot trading market sentiment was weak, and coupled with energy supply issues at downstream processing enterprises, procurement was mainly driven by steel demand.
