Why are Steel HRC (Saudi Arabia) Prices so high?
30-09-2026 - The current market analysis suggests an upward pressure on raw material prices, primarily influenced by Flows data, which is expected to have a $9.0/t impact. This pressure is largely attributed to Seaborne Imports & Exports, contributing $5.5/t, and Exchange Rates, adding $3.5/t. All data sources consistently support this trend.
In the European market, recent reports indicate that hot-rolled coil (HRC) prices have likely bottomed out, with further declines deemed improbable due to rising production costs. Market participants are anticipating potential price hikes from mills in the near future. This expectation is in line with the forecast, which predicts an upward trend in the FOEX Steel HRC market.
