Italian Premium: Prices hold in steady market

摘要

Prices held flat in the Italian premium pellet market this week, as distributors continued to refill stocks in Italy ready for September. The price of bagged pellets delivered into northern Italy held steady at European dollar 228/t, and the delivered price for bulk pellets was unchanged at European dollar 169/t. The 45 day spot window reaches to the end of July. Demand is likely to increase next month, market participants said, possibly supporting prices.
