Therefore, the manufacturers also have the confidence to less than 40000 yuan / ton shipping price began to maintain a can not adhere to the attitude. However, from this week's manufacturer shipment price situation or concentrated in 40500 yuan / ton, and each manufacturer sales strategy is also different. Some are firmly overstated and cherish the sale, while others begin to cherish the sale and wait and see after a large number of shipments have returned funds at a price of about 40500 yuan / ton.
