[Expressed by www.ferro-alloys.cn] Since November, due to price reduction of billet, the prices of cold rolled steel strip, the raw material of cored wire have fallen by approximately 400 yuan per ton. Now, in Hebei Province, main production area, the price of SPCC 0.35*55 Q195 cold rolled steel strip is 4,500 yuan per ton, SPCC0.35-0.39*55 cold rolled steel strip is 4,530 yuan per ton and SPCC0.4-0.49*55 is 4,500 yuan per ton. However, the market prices of cored wire have not been affected greatly and are still stable on the whole with no obvious change in the prices of main stream cored wires yet. In Henan Juangsu and Shandong, the main production areas of cored wire, the producers are stable in operation on the whole. At present, the transaction price of calcium silicon cored wire (Ca28Si55) is 10,800 to 11,800 yuan per ton. Pure calcium wire (Ca98%min∮9mm) is 10,800 to 11,800 yuan per ton. Ferro-calcium wire (Ca30∮13mm) is 8,300 to 8,800 yuan per ton. Ferro-calcium wire (Ca30∮30mm) is 10,000 to 10,500 yuan per ton. Carbon wire (C98%∮13mm) is 6,200 to 6,600 yuan per ton. Seamless metal calcium wire (Ca98%min∮9mm) is 12,000 to 12,500 yuan per ton. Seamless metal calcium wire (Ca98%min∮10mm) is 17,500 to 18,000 yuan per ton. Silicon magnesium wire(Si40Mg28Re2∮13mm) is 11,500 to 12,500 yuan per ton. It is estimated that cored wire market will be stable recently with no large price fluctuation.
