March can be the most problematic month for Ukrainian metallurgists that produce reinforcement and other long rental. Having received adequate orders from the countries of the Middle East in February at prices at the level of 580 - 585 dollars/ton, the domestic missile defense plants could not dial orders for March. This was reported at the Institute of Strategic Research.
Faced with the unwillingness of customers to conclude long -term contracts, Ukraine’s metallurgical companies went to further reduce prices, and today they offer reinforcement at a price of $ 570 - 575/ton FOB port of the Black Sea. Precedents of the acquisition of Ukrainian long metal rolling at a price of $ 560/ton of Odessa on the basis of preliminary payment are reported.
The price supply for metal products in the region will soon be under pressure from leisurely purchases of Middle Eastern buyers and falling prices for long rental and reinforcement in Turkey, supported by a decrease in the cost of scrap metal.
Export prices for Ukrainian reinforcement continue to fall
