During the given week, inventory of PPGI has been at relatively low levels, bolstering prices. However, following stock replenishment after the long holiday, market players have been hesitating to conclude more purchases. At the same time, iron ore prices have moved on a downward trend, weakening the support for PPGI prices.

As of October 16, HRC futures prices at Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) are standing at RMB 3,740/mt ($556/mt), down RMB 32/mt ($4.8/mt) or 0.85 percent from RMB 3,772/mt on October 9.
