Low demand and tight economic conditions have ensured that prices in the local Italian beams market are still at low levels. Base prices for beams (HEA, HEB < 180mm, IPE < 220 mm and U-beams < 220 mm) are at €170-180/mt ($239-245/mt) ex-mill for prompt delivery or for delivery within one month, and for 60-day deferred payment.
