Iran steel market Trend in Week 21st  , 2020

Billet

Billet price was rising last week in Iran. On last Saturday, average price was USD 337 /mt ex-work including 9% VAT, which reached USD 345/mt by Wednesday. The upward trend had two reasons:

First, higher ex-rate , which continued its upward trend last week.

Second, DRI supply restriction by small producers and cancellation of past DRI deals at IME ( Iran Mercantile Exchange), which led to an accumulated demand in IME.

During the last two weeks, there has been virtually no DRI trading on IME. However, the price of DRI in the global market has not changed much and has fluctuated between $ 340 and $ 350.

Over the past few weeks, price of DRI has increased from USD 158/mt to USD 167 /mt, depending on supply location. However, recently we have seen large supply of DRI. The market is heard to be lower than the prices of the previous month. One of the main reasons for the decrease in DRI and pellet price is the decrease in iron ore export.
