After all through slump, the prices of cold rolled strip steel, the raw material of cored wire, have rebounded eventually. Comparing with the end of November, the prices of various specifications has rising by 100 to 200 yuan per ton. In Hebei Province, the main production area of cold rolled strip steel, SPCC 0.35*55 Q195 cold rolled strip steel is 4,440 yuan per ton, SPCC0.35-0.39*55 is 4,470 yuan per ton and SPCC0.4-0.49*55 is 4,420 yuan per ton. It is estimated that there is likely to be a small boost in the near term.

The overall operation of domestic cored wire market is relative stable with no obvious adjustment in mainstream transaction prices of solid pure calcium cored wire, seamless metal calcium cored wire and ferro-calcium cored wire in the main production areas such as Jiangsu, Shandong and Zhejiang.

At present, calcium silicon cored wire (Ca28Si55) is 10,800 to 11,800 yuan per ton. Calcium silicon cored wire (Ca30Si58) is 12,000 to 12,500 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 17,000 to 17,500 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.
