Metinvest raises export prices for metal distribution

The price offer for March 2013 at the metallurgical plants of the CIS countries increased by $ 15 - 35. This was reported by the metal ballot.

Major metal distribution went up mainly with foliage - cold -rolled and hot -rolled steel in sheets and rolls. The enterprises of the Ukrainian group Metinvest offer hot-rolled rolons of ordinary brands of steel with the supply of 575-580 dollars/ton against $ 560/ton for February supplies to the European Union in March 2013.

The reason for the increase in prices for metal rolling. Metallurgical enterprises of the CIS name the increase in the cost of metallurgical raw materials and improve demand in the market. The strengthening of the Euro exchange rate in relation to the dollar and repeated increase in prices for metal products by Chinese missile defense plants, which also declared the March rise in price of prices, played its role.
