The state informational-analytical center Gosvneshinform reports the fall of the steelmaking pig iron export prices by 15%, or by $20, to $155-160 per ton, FOB Ukrainian ports.
“In a week (November 16-20) Ukrainian export quotations for steelmaking pig iron decreased by 15%, to $155-160 per ton”, said the company in its statement, noting that the European customers were still demanding additional discounts and naming $150 per ton as the suitable level.
The market players fear the prices will go on falling, especially since the iron ore prices fall as well. (Ukrainian metal)
