According to the data tracked by SMM, the arrivals at domestic ports last week decreased by 7.91% from the previous week.

Shipments from Australia and Brazil are expected to increase significantly this week. Pig iron output will increase as some blast furnaces have plans to resume production. This will boost iron ore demand and drive shipments from ports.

[SMM Steel] Hoa Phat sees surge in HRC orders, demand expected to accelerate in 2026

[SMM Steel] Hoa Phat Group reported a sharp increase in HRC orders in April, with inventories declining significantly and demand expected to rise further. Q1 HRC sales grew 24% YoY to 2.36 million tons, while exports doubled to 416,000 tons. The surge is driven by Vietnam’s AD duties on Chinese HRC (up to ~27.8%), strong domestic construction demand, and reduced Iranian slab exports, which boosted demand for finished HRC. Prices have increased ~8% YTD, with April offers raised by ~$34/t, while export margins remain attractive, with US-bound prices $40–50/t higher than domestic.
