During the week ending November 30, steel plate prices in the Chinese domestic market have moved on a stable trend, while transaction activity in the overall market is still on the slack side. Average steel plate prices in China are presented in the tables below.
During the given week, new steel plate supplies have arrived in the spot market, easing the shortages of supply in the spot market to some extent. Meanwhile, some steel plate producers will carry out maintenance works in the coming period, which will likely provide a certain degree of support for steel plate prices. It is expected that steel plate prices in the Chinese domestic market will continue to move sideways in the coming week.
