Russian companies delivered about 0.4 million tons of steel semi-finished products to China in April, 5 times more than in the entire previous year
Russian metallurgical companies in the second half of April 2022 exported to China about 400 thousand tons of steel semi-finished products for the production of flat products (slabs), the Fastmarkets pricing agency reported.
The sellers were Severstal, Evraz and NLMK.
0.4 million tons is almost five times more than in the whole of 2021, when Russia sold 83.98 thousand tons of slab to China (data from the Federal Customs Service).
Russian companies sold their semi-finished products to China at a significant discount to regional prices, Fastmarkets reports. The Russian slab was sold in this country in April at $670-700 per ton with delivery. The last deal in late April - early May was already made at $630 per ton, and new offers were at the level of $620 per ton.
