Prices to fall on lack of demand in coming months

摘要

Competition among sections producers somewhat weakened in Janu? ary. EVRAZ and MMK managed to maintain angle prices at relatively high levels. Facing higher input costs, CherMK and NLMK-Kaluga raised prices by 7?9%, bringing them closer to those from the key producers. Apart from higher expenses, a December rise in export prices also pro? vided some support to sections suppliers.
