India - WEEK 01 - Flats Flutter Longs Languish
The Indian Long Product Price Index ILPPI has gone down by 26 points last week whereas Indian Flat Products Index IFPPI has gone up by 63 points. The overall price index INDSPI declined by 29 points.
In case of long products, while the sections faced weak conditions, wire rod remained stable. However, the rebar prices improved by more than 1% the reasons for which are quite not clear. Nothing has changed on the ground and construction projects are continuing to face severe liquidity issues. Thus without fundamental support from demand side, we are likely to witness downslide in rebar
Taking the signal from the announcements by Indian steel majors, market responded in positive direction especially for HR and plates where the prices improved by almost 1% WoW. While HR price improvement is on low import viability, plate price improvement is due to curtailed domestic supply.
Current HR import offers at USD 550-560 CFR Mumbai with 7.5% import duty translate to just about INR 38000 per tonne as against new domestic levels of about INR 37000-37500 per tonne giving no import opportunities amid currency fluctuation risk.
In case of plates, the surge in domestic prices is much higher due to curtailed availability
