SteelOrbis has learned that spot market pricing for US import hot dipped galvanized (HDG) and Galalume markets have revised slightly week-over-week, as revised import HDG prices from South Africa, the UAE and Brazil are now available. Brazilian price points are much lower than other offers, sources note, because Brazil is not subject to the Section 232 tariff.
