Demand has remained sluggish in the Vietnamese flat steel market, where buyers have been maintaining a wait-and-see stance.

During the past two weeks, hot rolled coil (HRC) prices in the Vietnamese domestic market have decreased by $20/mt to $540-545/mt ex-warehouse, while cold rolled coil (CRC) prices have declined by $15/mt to $665-670/mt ex-works. Meanwhile, rerolling quality HRC of 2 mm thickness are now being quoted at $560-565/mt ex-warehouse, indicating a decrease of $15-20/mt over the past two weeks.

On the import side, Chinese HRC offers to Vietnam are now at $545-550/mt CFR, decreasing by $20/mt over the same period, though no deals have heard so far at these levels. In the meantime, offers for rerolling quality HRC of 2 mm thickness from China have declined by $25/mt to levels of $560-565/mt CFR.
