During the given week, PPGI prices have moved sideways as most market players are already off for the Chinese New Year holiday (February 11-17). Meanwhile, the inventory of PPGI has risen slightly. It is thought that PPGI prices in the Chinese domestic market will continue their stable trend in the coming week.

As of February 5, HRC futures prices at Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) are standing at RMB 4,450/mt ($688/mt), up RMB 60/mt ($9.3/mt) or 1.4 percent from RMB 4,390/mt on January 29.
