东盟板坯价格大幅下跌
Slab slumps against billet in ASEAN
Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）报道，与方坯相比，东盟板坯进口价格大幅下降，这与成品板材需求疲软有关。
Slab import prices have fallen sharply in ASEAN when compared to billet, Kallanish notes, linked to weak demand for finished flat products.
周一，印尼一家主要钢厂将其2月份发货的板坯价格下调至430美元/吨fob。5美元/吨的降价幅度令印尼的一些市场人士感到惊讶，他们原本认为中国钢材期货的上涨会给地区钢材市场带来一些支撑。但也有人说，由于板坯需求不佳，降价在意料之中。雅加达一位贸易商说：“他们没有足够的板坯订单。”
A leading Indonesian mill lowered its price for February shipments of slab on Monday to $430/t fob. The $5/t drop surprised some market sources in Indonesia who believed that the rise in the Chinese steel futures would have given some support to regional steel markets. But others say that the price cut is expected due to poor demand for slab. “They do not have enough slab orders,” a Jakarta-based trader notes.
印尼进口商说，越南和阿曼的中厚板用板坯价格应在450美元/吨cfr左右。一位买家说：“也许他们感受到了来自越南的竞争。”据称，伊朗半成品在该地区被当作阿曼半成品申报。
Plate-making slab from Vietnam and Oman should be priced at around $450/t cfr, importing sources in Indonesia say. “Maybe they are feeling the competition from Vietnam,” a buyer says. Iranian semis are believed to be declared as Oman semis in the region.
一位泰国贸易商说，印尼钢厂出口的板坯是用于再轧的商品级板坯。他和印尼买家表示，根据锰含量的不同，中厚板级板坯通常会收取10-15美元/吨的额外费用。从印尼钢厂到爪哇岛的运费估计为15-20美元/吨。
The Indonesian mill’s slab exports are for commercial-grade slab for rerolling, a Thai trader says. He and the Indonesian buyer says that plate-grade slab are typically sold with an extra charge of $10-15/t depending on manganese content. Freight from the Indonesian mill is estimated at $15-20/t to Java island.
该钢厂目前报价4月份发货的方坯和低碳盘条，表明这些产品的销售情况较好。上周五，该厂将3sp级150毫米方坯价格提高8美元/吨，达到445美元/吨fob。本月该厂的6.5毫米盘条出口价格维持在470美元/吨fob。
The mill is currently offering further-ahead April shipments for billet and low-carbon wire rod indicating better sales for these products. It hiked its 3sp grade 150mm billet by $8/t to $445/t fob last Friday. It has maintained its 6.5mm wire rod export price at $470/t fob this month.
第二位雅加达贸易商说，印尼钢厂的方坯和板坯之间15美元/吨的价格差距“很大”。他们补充说，这是由于半成品材的最终产品的价格差异造成的，而印尼国内需求因3月斋月临近而不佳。
The price gap of $15/t between the Indonesian mill’s billet and slab is “a lot,” a second Jakarta trader said. This is due to the difference in prices for the semis’ final products, with domestic demand in Indonesia is poor because of the approaching fasting month in March, they add.
一位印尼贸易商听说一家钢厂从生产板坯转向生产更多的方坯，因为目前方坯的价格高于板坯。
