During the given week, PPGI prices in the Chinese domestic market have moved down sharply amid the decreasing HRC futures prices. At the same time, the declining iron ore prices weakened the support to PPGI prices. High temperature will continue to exert a negative impact on the demand for PPGI. It is thought that PPGI prices in the Chinese domestic market will edge down further in the coming week.

As of July 15, HRC futures prices at Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) are standing at RMB 3,576/mt ($530/mt), down RMB 630/mt ($93.3/mt) or 15 percent from RMB 4,206/mt on July 8.
