Brazilian producers remain negotiating HRC for export to South American countries in price range of $580/mt to $600/mtFOB conditions for the basic commercial grades, the same range over the last two weeks, a local exporter told SteelOrbis.
In February, ArcelorMittal exported 67,300 mt of HRC at $489/mt, CSN exported 31,500 mt at $513/mt and Usiminas exported 4,000 mt at $956/mt, all FOB conditions, reflecting different quality grades and tonnage levels, with price deals probably closed in December.
