For steel buyers & sellers: Navigate Indonesia’s HRC price surge, Vietnam’s domestic price war, and expanding ASEAN trade remedies with week-on-week data. Download Report.
This weekly intelligence briefing compares the latest seven-day trading window against the prior week, giving you more than a snapshot—it shows you the direction and speed of market change. If you source or sell HRC, billet, slab, wire rod, or stainless steel into Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia or Malaysia, this report isolates the decisions that will either protect your margin this quarter or erode it.
Every page is built on a rigorous week-on-week comparison framework: last week’s price, this week’s price, the driver that moved it, and a next-week forecast with concrete upside and downside scenarios.
This Week’s Key Focus Areas:
The Iran supply shock has finally transmitted to Southeast Asian flat steel markets with full force, concentrated in Indonesia where HRC prices surged on acute slab shortages. Thailand launched a sunset review of anti-dumping duties from fourteen countries, expanding the region’s trade remedy architecture. Malaysia initiated a new anti-dumping probe on wire rod, signalling that protectionist measures are spreading from flat products into long products. Vietnam’s domestic HRC market fractured as the two dominant mills diverged sharply on pricing strategy. Meanwhile, Chinese mills pushed exports to multi-month highs to offset weak domestic demand and rising inventories.
