The
coated flat steel markets in
Russia and
Ukraine have been characterized by low but stable activity, which has supported prices and kept them at the same levels since last month. Thus, offers for hot dip
galvanized (HDG) coils with thickness of 0.45 mm are standing at the level of $1,065/mt ex-warehouse in
Ukraine, including VAT and are at $1,021-1,111/mt ex-warehouse in
Russia including VAT produced by
NLMK and
Severstal and offered by traders in central
Russia. In addition, 0.5 mm 100 gr/m² zinc-
coated HDG produced by
Ilyich Iron and Steel Works and
NLMK is offered at levels of $1,040-1.081/mt ex-warehouse including VAT by traders in central
Russia, while the same material is offered in
Ukraine at $1,027/mt ex-warehouse, including VAT.
Alternative offers for HDG materials from
China are cheaper, though thickness and qualities are different. Nevertheless, consumers can find offers of 0.35 100 gr/m² zinc-
coated HDG at $835-840/mt CIF Russian ports and at $810-815/mt CIF Ukrainian ports. In the meantime, Chinese offers for 0.5 mm 60 gr/m² zinc-
