In Henan, the mainstream transaction price for calcium silicon cored wire (Ca28Si55) is 9,000-9,500 yuan/ton, while (Ca30Si58) in Jiangsu is 11,000-10,500 yuan/ton. In Henan, Shandong, Inner Mongolia, and other regions, the mainstream transaction price for spheroidizing cored wire (Si40Mg28-30Re2) is 10,200-10,700 yuan/ton. The mainstream price for solid pure calcium wire (Ca98%min, Ca58-68g) in Zhejiang, Henan, and Jiangsu is 11,200-11,700 yuan/ton. In Shandong and Henan, the price for seamless metal calcium wire (Ca97-98%min, ∅9mm, steel strip 1.0mm) is 10,700-11,200 yuan/ton. In Henan, Liaoning, and Jiangsu, titanium-ferro cored wire (FeTi70min, ∅13mm) is priced at 26,200-28,300 yuan/ton. In Henan and Jiangsu, calcium ferro cored wire (FeCa30min, ∅13mm) is sold at 9,200-10,000 yuan/ton. For carbon cored wire (C>96%, ∅13mm), the price in Henan is 4,800-5,200 yuan/ton, and in Jiangsu, it is 5,000-5,400 yuan/ton (factory tax-included cash price).
As indicated by the price comparison between August and September, export prices of cored wire have increased. The export transaction price for calcium-silicon cored wire (Ca30Si60, ∅13mm) is 1,450-1,540 USD/ton, while for calcium-silicon wire (Ca28Si55, ∅13mm), the price is 1,320-1,370 USD/ton. The snap-lock solid pure calcium cored wire (Ca98%min, ∅9mm) is priced at 1,560-1,640 USD/ton (FOB Tianjin Port).
In September, the prices of calcium-based cored wire increased due to rising raw material costs, specifically cold-rolled steel strip and calcium wire (granules), which saw a price hike of about 400 yuan/ton. The overall cost increase for other cored wire raw materials was around 150-200 yuan/ton. The price of high-titanium ferro cored wire, however, was mainly held back by the drop in titanium ferro powder, and despite a sharp rise in cold-rolled steel strip prices at the end of the month, it was not enough to reverse the downward trend in titanium ferro cored wire prices due to its lower contribution to overall costs.
On the first day of post-holiday trading, the cored wire market remained relatively calm, with most players waiting to observe price changes in the raw material market after reopening.
This morning, the price of calcium-silicon increased by 200-300 yuan/ton, with the market quoting around 11,500-11,600 yuan/ton for Ca1. The price of metallic calcium remained the same as pre-holiday levels, with mainstream prices for calcium wire at 21,800-22,000 yuan/ton. Hot-rolled coil prices opened higher but fell throughout the day, although overall prices increased compared to before the holiday. Today, cold-rolled steel strip SPCC0.4-0.45 is quoted at 4,550-4,600 yuan/ton ex-factory. The price of 72 ferrosilicon rose by 200 yuan/ton, with a quotation of 6,400-6,500 yuan/ton in Qinghai. Magnesium ingot factory prices increased slightly by 50 yuan/ton, with quotations reaching 17,800-18,000 yuan/ton.
With the formal implementation of a series of macroeconomic favorable policies, the upward trend in black metal markets is evident, driving up cold-rolled steel strip prices, which in turn pushes up the cost of cored wire raw materials. Market sentiment is improving, and with favorable support from rising raw material costs, the price of cored wire is expected to increase. As a result, the industry remains optimistic about post-holiday price trends for cored wire.
Hongshun Ferroalloy Company has nearly 20 years of production experience and obtains various ferroalloys from sister companies at competitive prices, ensuring the quality of cored wires.
