During the given week, inventories of PPGI in the Chinese domestic market have decreased and are now at lower-than-normal levels, exerting a positive impact on PPGI prices. Meanwhile, ferrous metal futures prices in China have increased, boosting market sentiment. However, demand from downstream users has not seen any significant improvement, with traders accordingly indicating that they will be cautious about building up their stocks in the near future.

As of November 22, HRC futures prices at Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) are standing at RMB 3,531/mt ($502/mt), up 1.35 percent from RMB 3,484/mt ($498/mt) on November 15.
