Offers to Turkey are now circling$600/tonne cfr, after a sale late last week at $555/t cfr broke a lengthy pausein buying. Turkish hot rolled coil prices are now at up to $700/t ex-works forlate-March rolling material, although no deals occurred at this level beforepress time, with pipe producers resisting. Re-rollers and processors are likelyto accept these levels, as cold rolled coil and galv prices and demand continueto rise, sources note.

Turkish flatsprices’ monumental rise of around $150/t in a month is enough for buyersto accept slab offers at $600/t cfr, but Italian re-rollers may struggle,especially in the plate segment. New plate offers in Italy are at an equivalentof around $620-650/t ex-works, but HRC at $680-700/t ex-works is in line withTurkish prices, making CIS slab affordable.
消息人士指出,问题在于供应,因为独联体板坯供应商在欧盟和美国的再轧设施需要更多材料,而目前除中国外,其他地方的需求都很旺盛。
The issue is availability, as CISslab suppliers' re-rolling facilities in the EU and US are requiring morematerial, while demand is booming everywhere but China at present, sourcesnote.
