Worth mentioning:
In the second week after the price increase announcement, mills are actively promoting new pricing levels for hot roll products, ranging from $900 to $950. However, steel buyers are still evaluating the mills' ability to succeed with these prices. Buying activity has been sporadic and may not meet initial expectations. Furthermore, reports indicate that scrap prices are facing downward pressure in July, likely due to the ongoing effects of the summer market slowdown.
