During the first half of the current Iranian year (March 21-Sept. 22), KSC booked the tag of Iran’s largest steel exporter. During the period under review, the company’s steel exports were recorded at around 1 MnT.

This week Iranian billet export market remained silent. However, offers from the country rose marginally. SteelMint assessment for Iranian billet are standing at USD 350-360/MT, FoB Iran, up USD 5/MT against last week. Increase in Turkey’s imported scrap prices amid supply tightness, are keeping the billet export market sentiments supported in the region.

As per SteelMint’s methodology, assessment of US-origin HMS 1&2 (80:20) scrap has now escalated to USD 260/MT, CFR Turkey, increasing by USD 7/MT against last week.
