As of March 20, average prices on regional pig iron markets have risen by $5–20/t. The rise in prices is partly due to limited supply caused by weather conditions in Brazil: FOB prices reached $450/t. Meanwhile, the pig iron market in Turkey is under pressure due to rising freight costs and weak demand.
