During the given week, PPGI prices have edged up slightly amid rising HRC futures prices and increasing raw material prices. Meanwhile, inventory of PPGI has been at relatively low levels, bolstering prices. It is thought that PPGI prices in the Chinese domestic market will likely move sideways in the coming week.

As of November 27, HRC futures prices at Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) are standing at RMB 4,151/mt ($631.3/mt), up RMB 67/mt ($10.2/mt) or 1.64 percent from RMB 4,084/mt on November 20.
