Brazilian flat slab export price continues upward trend

According to sources said that Brazilian flat slab steel export price continues to upward trend, due to the short supply of flat slab steel rather than demand side.

Meanwhile, there were only three flat slab steel producers in Brazil, including AreclorMittal Tubaraoe, ThyssenKrupp CSA and CSP (Companhia Siderurgica do Pecem), accounting for 63% of the total capacity. In July of this year, Brazilian flat slab steel exports totaled 523,000 tons.
