Partial Price Collection Notes
Overview:This week, the European APT market quotation range moved down to $2,700-3,100/mtu, with no new transactions concluded. Market sources reported offers at $2,700-2,750/mtu, with more low-price offers emerging, but actual trading remained sluggish, and no new spot deals were seen. From a supply-demand perspective, smelters' long-term contract prices remained above $3,000/mtu, and most existing production had already been booked, leaving limited spot orders in circulation. However, scrap and ore prices fell in tandem, and buyers' bearish sentiment strengthened, with a strong wait-and-see atmosphere in the market. Some traders noted that as long as China cannot export raw materials, no new low-priced spot cargo will flow out, and the market remains largely in a stalemate. Overall, the European APT market quotation center edged lower, and with weak demand compounded by falling scrap and ore prices, prices still face some downward pressure in the short term. Future attention should be paid to changes in Chinese exports and actual transaction guidance.
Downstream: this week, the market reportedly saw low-priced offers, but as long as China cannot export raw materials, there will be no new low-priced spot cargo, and there are currently no transactions in the market
Trader: no deals were heard this week, but buyers are indeed quite bearish
Trader: this week, we heard that other institutions were offering at $2,700-2,750/mtu, and both scrap and ore prices in the market are falling
Upstream: our long-term contract prices remain above $3,000/mtu, and all the cargo we are currently producing has already been booked
Trader: No new low-priced orders were heard in the market, and there were no spot transactions for APT
