An importer said he did not understand why the booking took place since offers for billet from Russia and Qatar are available at $450/t cfr Manila. “Is it the chemistryor the shipment date,” he asks. Kallanish was not able to confirm whether thecargo was for February or March shipment.

“It is asmall order so it could be one-off and not necessarily a benchmark,” a tradersays. He was seeing all offers at above $450/t cfr. A regional trader says that the deal took place because of limited offers in the market.

Conversely,an offer for Malaysian EAF billet at $442-443/t cfr Manila was greeted withmixed views. “That’s cheap, but it doesn’t make sense,” a trader says. “I believe that $450/t cfr is already too high,” another says. He thinks that other exporters may lower prices soon. A buyer says that he is unsure how serious the offer is.
