UK hot-rolled coil prices were rangebound in light of pre-holiday trading conditions at the GBP 490-510/mt level Friday with the S&P Global Platts TSI HRC assessment remaining stable at GBP 495.00/mt ($627.51/mt) DDP West Midlands. UK HRC prices have fallen 3.9% in the last four weeks (since November 23), matching the move lower in European ex-works Ruhr HRC, where sentiment has been negative in recent weeks.
