Meanwhile, Indian HDG 0.019" x 48" G90 offer prices have remained unchanged since last week, but sources indicate that a serious inquiry could bring current price--in the range of $47.00-$48.00 cwt. ($1,036-$,1058/mt or $940-$960/nt) DDP loaded truck in US Gulf ports--down as much as $1.00 cwt. Despite this week's sizeable drop in some import offer prices, activity is still restrained as many US buyers (and traders) aren't convinced yet that import prices have hit bottom, driving many to delays placing an order.
