SteelOrbis has been informed that ex-CIS mesh quality wire rod offers for March rolling to the export market still stand at $570-575/mt FOB, with offers remaining stable since last week. However, prices at $560-565/mt FOB can be found in the market depending on buyers and order sizes.
 
Meanwhile, sources, who state that sales for March production wire rod are about to close, inform SteelOrbis that buyers have been putting pressure on CIS mills by seeking cuts in wire rod offers citing softer scrap prices. However, the expected recovery of demand in line with the approach of spring provides support for CIS wire rod producers.
 
In addition, CIS wire rod offers to Europe have also trended sideways since last week, remaining at $600-615/mt DAP.
