Major Vietnamese producer Formosa Ha Tinh has announced its new offer prices for wire rod for January delivery, increasing its prices by $20/mt compared to the previous month, much larger than the $5/mt increase in October.
Formosa Ha Tinh is offering its grade 2 mesh quality mild wire rod at $545/mt CFR, while its mesh quality wire rod is available at $555/mt CFR, according to market reports. To foreign buyers, offers for wire rod from Formosa Ha Tinh are at $540/mt FOB. Steady demand and rising prices from Chinese wire rod exporters have contributed to the latest price hike announced by Formosa.
