SteelOrbis has been informed that Serbian producer US Steel's 0.5 mm CRC offers to the Bulgarian market are at the level of €535/mt ($730/mt) CFR Bulgaria, while Macedonian producer Skopje's 0.5-2 mm CRC offers are at the level of €515/mt ($703/mt) for delivery by truck to Bulgaria. Both offers are for March shipment.
With offer levels from the CIS increasing, Bulgarian stockists prefer to purchase from Macedonia and Serbia due to the possibility of buying smaller tonnages with shorter lead times.
