Chinese HRC market moves on downtrend, traders cautious

Tuesday, 04 December 2012 17:08:48 (GMT+3)   |   Shanghai
During the week ending December 4, hot rolled coil (HRC) prices in the Chinese domestic market have continued to decline. Average HRC prices in the local Chinese market can be viewed in the SteelOrbis price reports section.   

At present, HRC traders in China are mostly maintaining a wait-and-see strategy. Due to the tight availability of HRC supplies, spot prices of HRC products have remained at relatively high levels despite the recent downticks. Meanwhile, domestic prices of thick HRC specifications are characterized by greater stability and are currently in the range of RMB 3,900-3,940/mt ($621-627/mt). Traders are still generally cautious. It is thought that domestic HRC prices in China will likely trend sideways in the coming week.
