Vietnam : Imported HRC Offers Decline Further From Chinese Mills
This week imported HRC offers to Vietnam fell further by USD 5-10/MT from China over limited bookings. Chinese HRC export offers continued to remain on correction mode over volatile futures in today’s early trading sessions, which led to decline in offers to Vietnam.
Meanwhile by the end of last week Vietnam based Formosa also slashes HRC offers (SAE 1006, skin pass) by USD 50-55/MT for February shipments following decline in global steel prices.
Thus end users in Vietnam are not aggressively booking stocks as they are anticipating further plunge in export offers from China in near term.
