Iran Billet Export Market Remains Silent Amid Eid Holidays
This week, Iranian billet export market was reported hushed. No deals were witnessed and mills are in no rush to conclude October deals. Also, country’s billet export offers are standing still at USD 385-390/MT, FoB identical as last week. The prime reason for the market reticence is Eid Festivity.
Although, towards end of the last week, Khouzestan Steel Company (KSC), one of the leading exporters of the country concluded a billet export tender of quantity 40,000 MT of size 150*150 mm and 130*130 mm for early Oct’19 shipment. As per market sources, the deal value was reported to be USD 387/MT, FoB Iran.
