ArcelorMittal Temirtau keeps HRC and CRC offers for Ukraine unchanged in September

Offers of September production hot rolled coil (HRC) with 2.00-12.00 mm thickness from ArcelorMittal Temirtau (Kazakhstan) to Ukraine are currently given at $776-792/mt DAP Solovey, almost the same as for August production. Meanwhile, ArcelorMittal Temirtau’s 1.00-2.00 mm cold rolled coil (CRC) offers to Ukraine are at $872-877/mt DAP, also for September rolling, up $2/mt compared to offers for August material, due to rising transportation costs. Although there is demand for flat steel from Kazakhstan in Ukraine, Ukraine may see a shortage of supply due to logistic problems.
