Why are Steel HRC (Saudi Arabia) Prices so high?
06-02-2026 - The current market analysis presents a mixed outlook due to varying influences on raw material prices. The forecast indicates upward price pressure primarily driven by Flows data, with a notable impact from Exchange Rates, which are contributing an increase of $10/t. However, Demand data suggests a downward trend, creating a complex scenario. Despite this, both Flows and Technical data collectively point towards a net increase in prices.
In the steel market, recent analyses suggest a potential upward trend in Hot Rolled Coil (HRC) prices. This aligns with the forecast, which predicts a price increase to $576.0/t in the coming month. A report from BigMint, dated January 31, 2026, supports this view, indicating that current global steel price trends are likely to continue into February. The report highlights that HRC prices may strengthen due to limited availability, reinforcing the forecasted price increase.
Overall, while demand data introduces some uncertainty, the prevailing data from Flows and Technical analyses suggest an upward trajectory in raw material and HRC prices, with exchange rates playing a significant role in this trend.
