Ukrainian WR offer for export

SteelOrbis has heard that Ukrainian mill Mittal Steel Kriviy Rih is offering mesh quality wire rods for export at $460-470/mt FOB on actual weight basis for late September shipment. The strong CIS domestic market continues to brake the export decline of the Ukrainian and Russian origin products. There is not much demand in Gulf and Middle East for these prices. However, it is heard that another Ukrainian wire rod producer concluded a sale at $440/mt FOB last week.
