Chinese traders reported some international offers around the middle of the $100-110/mt CFR range, slightly below recent offers at the upper end of that range. However, sources suggested that these lower levels were not from mainstream suppliers. International traders said there was still demand coming from China. Some also suggested that limited supply from the Middle East, Canada, and Russia in Q1 2017 could lead to some scrambling among Chinese buyers. There has also been limited crushed lump availability from Saudi Arabia recently, with the last sales reported in late November around $92-94/mt CFR.
