越南热轧卷价格上涨，但需求依然低迷

Vietnamese HRC inches up as demand remains low

Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）报道，上周越南热轧卷价格略有上涨，但市场需求依然疲软。

Hot rolled coil prices in Vietnam rose slightly last week, but the market continued to see weak demand, Kallanish notes.

越南南部一位贸易商在周五说：“现在市场非常平静。”他没有听说进口交易。

"The market is very quiet now,” a trader in southern Vietnam said on Friday. He did not hear of import deals.

一位再轧商说：“需求仍然很低。”涂层钢的国内和出口需求都很低迷，但国内市场“稍好一些”。

"Demand is still low," a reroller notes. Both domestic and export demand for coated steel are slow but the domestic market is a "bit better".

就本地钢厂而言，台塑河静钢铁公司（FHS）仍在为其最新一轮的国内热轧卷销售收集订单。但河内贸易商在周五说，该公司不得不给予约8美元/吨的折扣，以便与国内买家达成交易。

In terms of local mills, Formosa Ha Tinh Steel (FHS) is still gathering orders for its latest round of domestic HRC sales. But the mill has been forced to give a discount of around $8/tonne to close deals with domestic buyers, the Hanoi trader commented on Friday.

3月11日，FHS宣布其4月/5月发货的国内热轧卷价格大幅上涨约30美元/吨。对于2万吨或以上的预订量，该公司的非精整热轧卷价格定为13,364越南盾/公斤（524美元/吨）cfr越南南部。对于2,000至 5,000吨的预订量，价格则升至约533美元/吨（见Kallanish 3月12日报道）。

Just on 11 March, FHS announced a substantial increase of around $30/tonne for its domestic HRC prices for April/May shipment. For bookings of 20,000 tonnes or more, the mill’s non-skin passed HRC was set at VND 13,364/kg ($524/t) cfr southern Vietnam. The price goes up to about $533/t for 2,000-5,000t bookings (see Kallanish 12 March).

进口热轧卷的报价也很少。一位河内贸易商说，印度热轧卷没有报价。他听说有传言日本热轧卷报价为515美元/吨cfr越南，但他认为这不真实，因为价格太低。

Offers for imported HRC are also few. There are no offers for Indian HRC, a Hanoi trader says. He heard a rumoured offer for Japanese HRC at $515/t cfr Vietnam, which he dismisses as untrue because it is too low-priced.

印度尼西亚Dexin Steel的报价已经上涨。该公司将SAE1006/SS400 3毫米基本热轧卷的价格上调至520美元/吨fob，比一周前上涨10美元/吨。这相当于约540美元/吨cfr越南。

The offer price from Indonesia’s Dexin Steel has risen. The steelmaker raised SAE1006/SS400 3mm base HRC to $520/t fob, up $10/t from a week earlier. This would be equivalent to around $540/t cfr Vietnam.

贸易商对Dexin热轧卷的报价仍在510美元/吨cfr越南。日本和韩国SAE 1006 2-3毫米厚度（30-50%为2毫米）的热轧卷报价普遍为530美元/吨cfr。另一位越南贸易商说：“出价仅为500-505美元/吨cfr。”

Meanwhile, traders were still offering Dexin’s HRC at $510/t cfr Vietnam. Quotes for Japanese and South Korean SAE 1006 2-3mm with 30-50% 2mm thickness HRC were prevailing at $530/t cfr. “Bids are only at $500-505/t cfr,” another Vietnamese trader observes.

Kallanish评估的SAE级2-2.7毫米厚度热轧卷价格为505-510美元/吨cfr越南，较前一周上涨5美元。

Kallanish assessed SAE grade 2-2.7mm thickness HRC at $505-510/t cfr Vietnam, up $5 on week.

杭州一家出口商在周五表示，中国产2,000毫米宽SS400/Q195热轧卷的成交价在几天前约为465美元/吨cfr越南，现在已接近470美元/吨。

For China-origin 2,000mm wide SS400/Q195 HRC, a Hangzhou-based exporter said on Friday that transactions were at about $465/t cfr Vietnam days earlier and are now approaching $470/t.
