SteelOrbis has been informed that in the Saudi Arabian market 0.5 mm 120 gr/m² zinc coated HDG offers given from the UAE (Al Ghurair) are at around $1,000/mt for delivery to warehouse and for July shipments, whereas 0.5 mm 120 gr/m² zinc coated HDG offers given from Jordan (Khlose) are at $960/mt for delivery to warehouse and for June shipments.
In the Saudi Arabian HDG market where demand levels are not as strong as in the local HRC market, price increases in flat products have been reflected in HDG offers. In the domestic HDG market, there are difficulties in terms of availability of galvanized sheets below 1 mm thickness.
