Offers for Chinese-origin SAE grades were heard between $390-400 a ton, with bids about US$10/t lower (CFR ASEAN port). Asking prices for SS400 grades were close to the $380a ton mark.

This price level made other producers less competitive, as South Korean mills were offering HRC at $400 a ton, but buyers were not prepared to pay above US$390/t (CFR Vietnam port). Offers from Japan and Taiwan were slightly higher at $410 a ton.
