Producers in India are offering Ferro Chrome in the domestic market at INR 74000/MT. Export prices for South Korea and Japan are at 83 cents /lb and 84 cents/lb CNF respectively. However, offer prices for China were up to 82 cents/lb CNF China, although a few producers are quoting at even higher prices.

Moreover, the Chinese currency has also appreciated, which gives Chinese producers scope for importing at slightly higher prices.
