Billet price was stable before new offers at IME ( Iran Mercantile Exchange)  and the demand was limited, but on Tuesday, price went up with the announcement of new power tariffs.

Finally billet price was up from USD 637/mt to USD 643/mt ex-work including VAT by end of the week.

Price of 2 mm thickness HRC ex-work Mobarakeh was USD 1053 /mt on last Saturday, which reached USD 1147 /mt by Wednesday. The mill’s market management and its supply trend at IME made market upward.

With higher global slab price and higher electricity costs along with the increase in Mobarakeh Steel co products, Oxin co HRP price also had an upward trend from USD 1039/mt to USD 1064/mt.

Limited supply and inflationary expectations made CRC price up from USD 1493/mt to USD 1592/mt ex-work including VAT.

Higher HRC price and upward market sentiment made HDG price also up from USD 1443/mt to USD 1519/mt ex-work including VAT.

 

Weekly Analysis:

Better economic statistics of USA market and China demand has increased positive sentiment in the world market. Global prices are upward and demand is strong, so demand for Iranian steel products will remain attractive in coming weeks. Any way still the main issue is exchange rate. Probably, this week we will see imported HRC and CRC cargoes be available in the market, considering that their price has increased in the world market, in order to maintain the market, the difference between the initial supply price and the current market rate will not be serious, but it will slow down or reverse the upward trend of prices.In the current situation, market insiders are focused on the currency rate and the price of gas and electricity.
