While HMS 1 (thickness not less than 20 mm) and HMS 2 (6-10 mm thickness) stand at RMB 2,770/MT (USD 391) and RMB 2,730/MT (USD 385) respectively.
Notably, this price cut comes after 2 successive price hikes from the company when tight supply of Scrap had resulted in a total hike by RMB 140/MT since Sep’19. Softening in domestic Billet and Rebar prices recently could have led to drop in domestic scrap prices.
