The 300-series Indonesian cold-rolled spot cargoes continued to flow back into China, but the transactions continued to be light. Orders placed by downstream processing plants were lower than expected, and the stockpiling cycle was also shortened. There thus was a large backlog of spot stocks in the market. Thanks to the demand from industrial sectors, the pressure on hot-rolled inventory was alleviated, and the market was not in a rush to sell cargoes. The prices of 300 series cold-rolled products were below those of hot-rolled products.
