The lowest deal was reported at $590, but consumers are becoming reluctant to pay such high prices. "Chinese producers who were offering at $570 last weekare now demanding above $600," a trader said. "It's turning into a nightmare metal [...]The Chinese will keep pushingfor higher prices and in the meantime we'll just have to go with it," a second market source said.
