Japan’s blast furnace (BF) mills planned to start tinplate price negotiation for the fourth quarter with Asian buyers.
It’s said that the Japanese BF mills have sought to raise the tinplate prices due to higher hot rolled coil prices, in spite of slack demand for tinplate from Southeast Asia in the third quarter.
In China, the tinplate prices have surged by a total of US$40/ton in this September due to strong demand.
