Ezz Steel has lowered its official HRC offer prices for December shipments by another $15/mt over the two weeks to $410/mt FOB, SteelOrbis has learned. In the meantime, according to the market sources, the offers to the south of the EU were heard at up to $425/mt CFR. Negotiations with the buyers from Saudi Arabia continue: the supplier is in discussion at around $465/mt CFR for the thin gauge material.
