Asian HRC market stays muted; soft end-user demand situation persists

摘要

The Asian hot-rolled coil market was quiet Monday as Vietnamese buyers continued to stay on the sidelines amid persistently soft end-user demand. S&P Global Platts assessed SS400 HRC 3 mm thick at $396/mt on a CFR Southeast Asia basis Monday, unchanged from Thursday. Separately, Platts assessed SAE1006 HRC at $389/mt, also unchanged over the same period on a CFR basis.
