US import HDG prices may be stable week-over-week, although some sources close to SteelOrbis said they’ve started to hear rumblings of higher prices out of Egypt.
Many, however, believe that global prices may soon start to climb, as iron ore prices are on the rise. “I think there’s room for some firming,” a source said, noting that buyers are taking a hesitant approach to booking import Galvalume coil, based on the fact that import prices are just about on par with domestic offers.
