Offer prices of ex-China PPGI have also decreased, following declines in CRC and HDG prices in the export market, standing at $945-975/mt FOB, moving down by $25/mt week on week.

During the given week, PPGI prices in the Chinese domestic market have seen big declines amid the continuous decreasing trend in ferrous metal futures prices. Raw material prices have declined, exerting a negative impact on PPGI prices. Demand for PPGI has remained slack, which has also negatively affected market players’ sentiments. It is expected that PPGI prices in the Chinese domestic market will likely edge down in the coming week.

As of November 19, HRC futures prices at Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) are standing at RMB 4,463/mt ($699/mt), down RMB 84/mt ($13.2/mt) or 1.85 percent from RMB 4,547/mt on November 12.
