During the given week, PPGI prices have declined slightly amid declining HRC futures prices and cautious sentiments among market players. However, demand for PPGI has remained slack, and so downstream users have held a wait-and-see stance as regards the future prospects for the market. It is thought that PPGI prices in the Chinese domestic market will likely fluctuate within a limited range in the coming week.

As of August 27, HRC futures prices at Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) are standing at RMB 5,495/mt ($847/mt), up RMB 37/mt ($5.7/mt) or 0.68 percent from RMB 5,458/mt on August 20.
