Trader sources have confirmed that the average spot market price ranges for US import hot dipped galvanized (HDG) and Galvalume markets are “mostly steady” since our last report a week ago, although some sources have indicated that deals for Vietnamese 012-G30 have been heard within the marketplace.
“You can get Vietnamese material for a bit cheaper than the average, if you’re looking to book some tons,” a source commented.
