[Plate/HRC] Today HRC and other flat-product export prices edged up USD 1/tonne day on day, with HRC transaction prices at 485-489 USD/tonne. Overseas Indonesian slab dipped to 465 USD/tonne today, while the domestic price still held at 470 USD/tonne; that level is understood to have essentially reached the domestic cost line, so further cuts by Chinese mills look unlikely. [Billet] Today export billet was offered at 451-455 USD/tonne FOB Jiangyin.
