Coal prices in Russia increased by 27% qoq (+34% yoy) with increased demand from China. · The increase in prices for iron ore raw materials by 18% qoq (+113% yoy) was supported by record high volumes of steel production in China, the recovery of steelmaking in other regions and the limited supply of iron ore from Brazil. · Scrap prices in the US and the EU improved by 8% qoq (+87% yoy) with an increase in global steel prices. The seasonal increase in scrap generation offset the trend. Dollar-denominated prices in Russia grew by 4% qoq (+84% yoy). The moderate price growth trend in Russia is associated with the seasonal growth of scrap collection in the domestic market and current export duties.
