Average export offer prices of most Chinese flat steel products have indicated a rising trend in the past week. At present, export offers for boron-added 5.75 mm hot rolled coil (HRC) given by Chinese suppliers are at $395-405/mt FOB, while export offers for 1.0 mm cold rolled coil (CRC) given by Chinese suppliers are in the range of $440-460/mt FOB.
The rises in Chinese domestic flat steel market prices and in Chinese steelmakers' domestic ex-works prices have positively affected Chinese flat steel export offer prices in the given week.
