Iranian Billet Export Offers Down by USD 10/MT W-o-W

As per SteelMint’s assessment, although the asking price for Iranian billet is noted to be around USD 390-400/MT, but the buying interest is assessed around USD 385/MT.
As per one Iranian source, “One of the major reason for the downfall of billet export offers is the downward trend of scraps and marginal corrections of CIS billet offers. He added, recently a major Iranian exporter has exported 25,000 MT billet to Gulf region at USD 385/MT FoB.”
