While HRC asking prices in South Europe were close to €395-400 a ton, deals were heard concluded approximately €10 a ton lower.
A seller commented that both purchasing activity and volumes sold are low as distributors remain well stocked for the remainder of H1 2015.
Meanwhile, a North European HRC swaps contract for May 2015 was cleared this week on LCH.Clearnet (basis TSI).
