Lack of import offers pushes up Asian steel billet prices again
Low volumes of steel billet being offered for import into key Asian markets have led to a continued rise in spot prices for the semi-finished material in recent days, sources told Fastmarkets on Friday January 28.
Buyers in Asia have been struggling to source billet on the spot market, with sellers holding back offers until after the region’s lunar new year holidays conclude in early February.
“A large Indonesian blast furnace [BF] mill hasn’t given any offer prices in recent days, and needs buyers to bid directly,” a major Chinese importer source said on Friday, with trading sources from both Japan and Singapore agreeing.
A Vietnamese steelmaker told Fastmarkets on Friday that he would still prefer to sell in the domestic market rather than exporting. But he said he would, in theory, be able to offer billet at $650 per tonne fob Vietnam, which would work out at around $680 per tonne cfr China and Southeast Asia.
He added that he expected prices to rise again after the new year holidays.
