According to him, hot rolled coil steel prices have averaged around $400 per metric ton over the past seven to eight years. He estimated that the long-term average for the product is expected to be more than $600 per metric ton. It should be noted that current prices are at $750 per metric ton in China and $850 per metric ton in Japan. Prices are likely to fluctuate higher than in the past, he added.
