The producers have kept their prices largely unchanged in May. Interpipe’s GOST 8731(32) 57-159 mm seamless hot-rolled pipes have lost in price just UAH 30/t. Production figures remain very much dependent on export demand. Although dropped slightly (down 2% to 61,500 t) in April, seamless pipe exports from Ukraine are still pretty high. Just like before, Russia and the USA are key outlets, with their shares in the whole exports making respectively 38% and 24%.
