| Brazil settles slab export price with Asia - 09 Jul, 2008 | ||
|
It is reported that a Brazilian slab mill has settled price negotiation with an Asian consumer for the shipments in the third quarter. The price was being traded at USD 1,050 per tonne FOB. Asian steelmakers are usually buying slab from Brazil, Russia and Australia. However, Australia may exit from the market in the fourth quarter and Brazil will cut its supply at the same time. Consequently Brazil could become a major slab supplier to Asia. (Sourced from YIEH.com) | ||
