[Sheets & Plates] Today, export prices for HRC and some other sheets & plates mostly fell $2/mt WoW, with HRC transaction prices concentrated in the $488-492/mt range. Some product offers have not yet been adjusted, but actual transaction prices allow for slight discounts from the quoted prices. As market prices declined, ex-China inquiry sentiment improved somewhat, and recent transactions in the Pakistan market have been reportedly good.
