During the week ending December 10, Chinese hot rolled coil (HRC) and cold rolled coil (CRC) export offer prices have indicated a slight downward trend. At present, export offers for boron-added 5.75 mm HRC given by Chinese suppliers are at $260-265/mt FOB, while export offers for 1.0 mm CRC given by Chinese suppliers are in the range of $290-300/mt FOB.
During the given week, domestic steelmakers have sought to keep their local flat steel product prices stable, providing a certain degree of support for flat steel export offer prices. However, some traders have decreased their export offer prices to attract more orders.
