Brazilian pig iron export prices up on reduced availability, increased demand

Issued at 2017-04-11



Brazilian pig iron export prices went up this week because of increased appetites for product in the USA and Italy and reduced availability of the steelmaking raw material.

Carajás-origin pig iron was reportedly offered to US clients at an average price of US$ 385 / tonne fob, with demand levels in the North American country continuing to be considered good, according to Brazilian sources."
