During the week ending September 28, steel plate prices in the Chinese domestic market have moved on a stable trend, while overall transaction activity in the market is still on the slack side. Average steel plate prices in China are presented in the tables below.
During the given week, due to the Mid-Autumn Festival (September 26-27) and the approach of the National Day Holiday (October 1-7), some market participants have been in a holiday mood, resulting in slack transaction activity in the domestic steel plate market. Meanwhile, some steel plate producers will carry out maintenance work on their production lines, and so supply volumes are expected to decrease. It is thought that steel plate prices in the Chinese domestic market will likely continue their stable trend after the holiday.
