asian HRC slips, sentiment in Vietnam weakens

摘要

The Asian hot-rolled coil market saw little trading activity late last week as market participants discussed the impact of preliminary affirmative circumvention rulings imposed by the US on steel exports from Vietnam, while sell-side sources stayed put on their firm price positions. S&P Global Platts assessed SAE1006 HRC at $510/mt FOB China Friday, down $2/mt day on day. On a CFR Southeast Asia basis, the same grade of coil was assessed at $517/mt, unchanged over the same period.
