During the week ending October 18, average Chinese flat steel export offer prices have decreased for cold rolled coil (CRC), hot dip galvanized (HDG) and pre-painted galvanized iron (PPGI), while moving stable for other products. At present, export offers for boron-added 5.75 mm hot rolled coil (HRC) given by Chinese suppliers are at $560-570/mt FOB, while export offers for 1.0 mm cold rolled coil (CRC) given by Chinese suppliers are in the range of $600-610/mt FOB.
It is thought that flat steel product export prices from China will move sideways in the coming week.
