During the given week, since local HRC prices have indicated further declines, HDG prices in the Chinese domestic market have been negatively affected, with HDG traders lowering their sales prices. Meanwhile, HDG inventory levels are slightly higher than the pre-holiday levels. The rise in inventory was mainly due to the arrivals of materials in the market during the holiday period, while orders received by traders during this period were on the slack side. It is expected that HDG prices in the Chinese domestic market will likely follow a downtrend in the coming week.
