Brazil HRC import prices down this week
Brazil HRC import prices down this week
Sao Paulo, 5 September (Argus) — Prices for imported hot rolled coil (HRC) in Brazil fell this week as Chinese suppliers cut offers. Import prices for Chinese origin HRC into Brazil were heard around $520-540/metric tonne (t) cfr, sources said, down from the $545/t cfr heard in the previous week . Chinese mills were heard to be offering HRC at lower levels as they seek to resume the demand pace seen earlier this year. Argus assessed today the fob Tianjin HRC index at $449/t, falling for a fifth consecutive day. Sellers lowered sales prices by about $2/t to the equivalent of about $440-445/t fob China for Q235-grade HRC produced by smaller Chinese mills on scant buying and falling Chinese domestic sales prices. Argus also heard that some domestic steelmakers such as Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (CSN) decided not to increase prices for some of its products, as previously announced, and that it would try to offer material at higher levels in October. One of the reasons for that would be a stronger domestic demand, boosted mainly by the automotive sector, which has seen increases in production and sales in August. Despite the steadiness in prices, the premium for domestic HRC versus imported material remained higher than expected by consumers, with Brazil HRC ex-works heard at around R3,900-4,000/t ($698-716/t).

Retroactive EU HRC AD duties could start 8 Dec
Retroactive EU HRC AD duties could start 8 Dec
London, 4 September (Argus) — Retroactive duties on hot-rolled coil (HRC) from Vietnam, Japan, India and Egypt could potentially be payable from 8 December in the EU. Provisional duties are expected to be imposed by 8 March 2025, and retroactive taxes payable, should the European Commission choose to introduce them, 90 days prior. This is likely to see most market participants clear all of their imports from these origins at the start of October, once the next quota period starts. The allocations from Vietnam and Japan are expected to exhaust imminently, with few returns by Italian importers, as this would be the last chance to import free of dumping duty risk. Some market participants said that duties on Vietnam could be double-digit, close to Chinese rates. Imports from Egypt and India could trickle into the EU over October-November, depending on how much material is left at ports from the previous quarters. Duties on those two origins are expected closer to or higher than Turkish AD rates, while some market participants are sceptical if Japan will be found to have been dumping. A pre-disclosure to the investigation is expected by 7 February 2025. A final disclosure is expected by 16 June 2025 and the deadline for the definitive decision duties is set for 6 September 2025. The commission will conduct verification visits between 23 October and 6 December 2024. The investigation has already had an impact on trade flows into the EU, with buyers purchasing higher volumes from Turkey — the quota for July-September is due to exhaust over the coming weeks, with already more than 400,000t imported since 1 July. Less than 25pc of Turkey's April-June quota filled up, and less than 15pc in the previous quarter. There have been more offers and deals from Australia, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia too — both of the latter are exempt from safeguards. Meanwhile, analytics platform Kpler data show that a cargo of just under 50,000t of Chinese coils is arriving in Spain on 5 September.

Open interest hits record high on CME N.EU HRC contract
Open interest hits record high on CME N.EU HRC contract
London, 4 September (Argus) — Open interest on the CME Group's north European hot-rolled coil (HRC) contract reached a fresh record high on 3 September. When the market closed 9,382 lots, the equivalent of 187,640t, was outstanding. The majority of interest centred on January-March, amounting to almost 4,000 lots, but it spread all the way out to September 2025. August was the highest month so far this year in traded volume terms, with around 115,000t clearing, surpassing January's 105,380t. It was also the highest volume month since February 2023. The futures activity stood in stark contrast to the physical market, where liquidity was very low as service centres concentrated on destocking rather than buying replacement coils. Tonnage captured in the index formation process in August was the lowest level since April 2023. Germany's economic issues continue to depress sentiment in the northern European steel market. Weakening demand from some steel intensive end-users, such as automakers, has caused issues for mills throughout Europe, leading to an increase in spot availability at a time of weak appetite. Lead times are around 3.25 weeks, according to recent deals reported to Argus , as producers struggle to fill their rolling programmes. Argus ' benchmark northwest EU HRC index, which the CME contract cash-settles against, dropped to €576/t at the end of August from €605/t at the start of the month. The futures curve remains in contango, with the front months softening markedly of late. October traded at €595/t today, down by around €25/t over the past week, while January traded at €644/t, after settling at €676/t a week ago. Physical market participants expect prices to grind lower in the coming months, as service centres continue to focus on cash generation, especially those approaching their financial year-end.

Brazil HRC import prices rise on tariffs
Brazil HRC import prices rise on tariffs
Sao Paulo, 30 August (Argus) — Brazil prices for imported hot rolled coil (HRC) increased this week as tariffs on imported products kicked off and signs out of China's steel sector were mixed. Import prices for Chinese origin HRC into Brazil were heard around $545/metric tonne (t) cfr, sources said, up from the $470-494/t cfr range heard in the previous week. This sharp uptick followed Brazil's decision to increase tariffs on imported products after domestic producers claimed that unfair competition — chiefly from the east Asian nation — was hampering their operations. The new tariffs took effect in June but only started to be felt by consumers in August, sources said. Another reason for the increase in Brazil cited by some sources was a possible price floor reached by Chinese mills in recent weeks. These producers have expressed concerns about their financial health amid a slow economic recovery that precipitated multi-year HRC price lows in China earlier this month. Argus assessed HRC fob Tianjin at $442/t on 19 August, the lowest level since July 2020, when most of the global economy was in the midst of pandemic lockdowns. In the latest assessment, the HRC price rose to $462/t, up by nearly 4.5pc in less than two weeks. China sought outlets for its steel outside of the country, lifting exports of the broad category of steel and iron products by 23pc to 55.2mn t year to date July 2024 from the same period in 2023, according to customs data. At this rate, China's yearly exports in 2024 will be the highest since 2016. Brazil, Chile and Peru have been among the countries widely increasing their imports. It is uncertain whether the price increase will begin to weigh on demand, sources said, as buyers balance greater availability of imported steel against claims that many prefer domestically-sourced HRC.
