US deal prices for plate to move up in second half of April

摘要

The situation in the US plate market remains rather favourable amid stable demand and limited supply. However, the lift voiced in late March is affected by both scrap price stabilization and tough competition with foreign sellers. For reference, Nucor and SSAB Americas announced an increase in deal prices by $44/t ($40/short ton) for the material to be shipped after April 29.
