During the week ending on June 22, average prices of pre-painted galvanized iron (PPGI) in the Chinese domestic market have moved on a stable trend, while transaction activity in the domestic market has been at low-to-medium levels. Average PPGI prices in the local Chinese market are presented in the following table.
During the given week, domestic hot rolled coil (HRC) prices have moved sideways, providing support for the stability of PPGI prices. Meanwhile, some PPGI specifications have been in short supply. Currently, traders are still upbeat as regards the prospects for the PPGI market trend. However, the rainy season and hot weather will exert a negative impact on demand for PPGI. It is thought that PPGI prices in the Chinese domestic market will likely continue their stable trend in the coming week.
