It is learned that, in this week, the cored wire market is sluggish on the whole with general decline in demand of various cored wire products. The transaction volume of silicon calcium cored wire, carbon cored wire, nodularizer cored wire and seamless metal calcium cored wire continuously declines.

 

As limited production is implemented in numerous downstream steel mills, the operation rate has declined and the demand for silicon calcium cored wire has reduced. Accordingly, the order quantity has reduced and market operation is not so active. Delivery situation of some manufacturers is getting worse. Now, the price of silicon calcium cored wire operates stably with little fluctuation of the manufacturers’ offer. The market transaction statistics shows in the main production areas such as Henan and Jiangsu, the mainstream transaction price of silicon calcium cored wire Ca30Si58∮13mm is 10,500-11,000 yuan per ton, Ca28Si50∮13mm is 7,850-8,500 yuan per ton, Ca28Si55∮13mm is 9,700-10,000 yuan per ton, Ca30Si60∮13mm is 10,500-11,000 yuan per ton.

 

Seamless metal calcium cored wire which the demand was stable lately has reduced too with general decline in order quantity of most manufacturers. Now, the prices of raw materials remain stable. Metal calcium wire (Ca≥97%, Φ:7-7.5mm) is 18,000-22,000 yuan per ton and metal calcium particle (Ca≥98.5%, Φ:0-2.5mm) is 21,000-23,000 yuan per ton. For this reason, the actual transaction price of seamless metal calcium cored wire still operates stably. Market transaction statistics shows that in the main productions areas such as Henan, Shandong and Jiangsu, Ca98%min∮9mm is still 10,000-11,000 yuan per ton and Ca98%min∮10mm is still 15,000-16,000 yuan per ton.

 

Carbon cored wire market situation is not optimistic with poor downstream demand on the whole and low positivity of delivery of the manufacturers. The market transaction statistics shows that in Henan, Jiangsu and Liaoning, the mainstream transaction price of carbon cored wire C96%∮13mm is 5,900-6,200 yuan per ton, C97%∮13mm is 5,800-6,100 yuan per ton and C98%∮13mm is 5,800-6,100 yuan per ton, which varies according to content of carbon, sulphur and phosphorus.

 

The market demand for nodularizer cored wire has been sluggish for a long time. The order quantity of the manufacturers reduces continuously. However, the prices of rare earth magnesium and magnesium ingot are stable. For this reason, the price of nodularizer cored wire has no significant fluctuation yet and still remains at 10,500-10,800 yuan per ton.

 

There is no obvious price fluctuation in other cored wire products yet. Now, the mainstream transaction price of solid pure calcium cored wire Ca98%min∮9mm is 10,000 - 10,500 yuan per ton; silicon magnesium cored wire Si40Mg28Re2∮13mm is 11,500-12,500 yuan per ton; ferro calcium cored wire Ca30∮13mm is 8,600-8,800 yuan per ton and Ca30∮30mm is 10,000-10,500 yuan per ton; ferrotitanium cored wire Ti30%min∮13mm is 11,500 - 11,800 yuan per ton; sulphur cored wire S98%∮13mm is 6,500-6,800 yuan per ton; ferroboron cored wire B17%∮13mm is 18,500-19,000 yuan per ton.

 

There is no significant fluctuation in raw materials, Ferroboron FeB19C0.1 is 20,000-22,000 yuan per ton, FeB18C0.5 is 18,000-18,200 yuan per ton, FeB17C0.5 is 17,500-17,800 yuan per ton and FeB16C0.5 is 16,500-17,000 yuan per ton; silicocalcium Ca28Si50 is 9,300-9,500 yuan per ton, Ca28Si55 is 10,000-10,500 yuan per ton, Ca28Si60 is 10,600-10,800 yuan per ton, Ca30Si55 is 10,500-10,700 yuan per ton and Ca30Si60 is 10,800-11,500 yuan per ton; rare earth magnesium silicon is 7,000-7,500 yuan; cold rolled strip steel Q195 0.35*55 is 4,400-4,420 yuan per ton, Q195 0.4 *55 and Q195 0.45 *55 is 4,350-4,370 yuan per ton, SPCC0.35-0.39*55 is 4,450-4,470 yuan per ton, SPCC 0.4 *55 and SPCC 0.45 *55 is 4,400-4,420 yuan per ton; metal calcium wire (Ca≥97%, Φ: 7-7.5mm) has been maintained at 18,000-22,000 yuan per ton and metal calcium particle (Ca≥98.5%, Φ: 0-2.5mm) is maintained at 21,000 -23,000 yuan per ton; metal crude calcium (Ca≥98.5%, particle size: 0-2.5mm) is 18,500-21,000 yuan per ton.

 

The export transaction price of calcium silicon cored wire ca30si60∮13mm is 1,550 to 1,630 US dollars per ton. Calcium silicon cored wire ca28si55∮13mm is 1,530 to 1,600 US dollars per ton. Bite type solid core pure calcium core wire ca98%min∮9mm is 1,670 to 1,750 US dollars per ton. Pure calcium cored wire Ca30 ∮13mm is 1,350 to 1,400 US dollars per ton. There is no adjustment comparing with the last month (FOB price, Tianjin Port).

 

As the demand for cored wire has reduced, the offers of the manufacturers might be reduced accordingly.
