LONDON (Scrap Register): Northern Europe hot rolled cold (HRC) steel prices edged up by €1 a ton week-on-week to €424 per ton in the week ended June 03, as per the latest figures released by The Steel Index.

North European HR coil prices ticked up a few euros this week to end today at €424/tonne ex-works. Official list prices from steelmakers ranged between €440-460/t, but trading activity this week indicated material was available for booking between €420-430/t.

With delivery lead-times stretching to almost two months from order, some market participants were willing to pay a premium to secure material more promptly. In South Europe, HR coil spot prices were flat at €426/t.

Market activity was pedestrian, with service centres closely observing happenings in Asia. Import offers from Iran were in the €445-450/t CFR Italy range with no bookings heard at this level.

Automotive negotiations continue, with more price clarity expected in the coming weeks.

Rio Tinto Secures Bell Bay Smelter Operations Through End-2031

Rio Tinto announced on October 1 that it had reached agreements with the Tasmanian Government, the Australian Commonwealth Government and Hydro Tasmania to extend electricity supply to the Bell Bay aluminium smelter through the end of 2031. The two governments will also provide a combined A$200 million support package over five years, contributing A$100 million each. Commercial terms of the power agreement were not disclosed. Bell Bay produces around 190,000 tonnes of primary aluminium annually, while its existing electricity contract was due to expire at the end of 2026. The agreement removes the smelter’s immediate operational uncertainty. Bell Bay is the third major Australian aluminium smelter to receive government-backed support in 2026, following Boyne and Tomago, highlighting continued pressure from high electricity costs and international competition.
