Over the past week, demand for hot rolled coil (HRC) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has remained weak amid seasonal conditions, while import HRC offers to the country have remained stable. In this context, import HRC offers to the UAE are still at $605-620/mt CFR, including Indian producers’ offers at $610-620/mt CFR and Chinese exporters’ quotations at $615/mt CFR. Also, ex-CIS HRC offers to the UAE are still at $605-610/mt CFR. In the short term, demand for HRC in the UAE is expected to remain slack.
