Steel importers in UAE and Saudi Arabia adopt cautious stance ahead of holiday season

As the holiday season approaches, flat steel importers in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia are treading cautiously. Industry insiders report that several major buyers are opting to wait before making significant steel purchases.

several import prices for steel to the United Arab Emirates experienced a decline, accompanied by a noticeable decrease in demand. In the United Arab Emirates, China maintained its offer for hot-rolled coil at $570-580 per tonne CFR over the past week, unchanged from the previous week's figures.

The recent surge in energy prices and geopolitical tensions has prompted a more conservative approach. With the holiday season around the corner, many businesses are adjusting their inventory levels. Importers are assessing demand patterns and considering potential price fluctuations during the festive period.

While the steel market remains resilient, importers are navigating a complex landscape.
