摘要

Prices for steel H-beams in Europe were unchanged again this week, as rising feedstock costs offset lackluster demand, sources told Fastmarkets on Wednesday October 30 Fastmarkets’ weekly price assessment for steel beams, domestic, delivered Northern Europe, was unchanged at €540-570 ($599-633) per tonne on October 30. “It is the end year business period, nobody will buy material if it’s not really needed. Price levels are the same [this week as last week], but €10-20 per tonne lower could be realistic in a week or two” a trader said.
