1. Market Highlights
Prices for welded pipe rose obviously in most Chinese domestic markets during the month boosted by upward price trend of raw materials, and they declined slightly in certain regions. Meanwhile, prices for seamless pipe kept generally stable. The market performance improved day by day with the downstream demand getting stronger. In addition, most mills failed to operate fully facing environmental protection pressures, which means the supply was tight. Insiders think the price for steel pipe is likely to go up slightly nationwide in May.
