The traders in South China are beginning to reduce the prices to promote delivery and have a tendency of clearance sale. Two reasons affect it. One is that the New Year is approaching and the other is that to-long-time placement will affect its quality. So the traders would rather use the reduction strategy than stock. However the downstream is still weary, purchase intention being not sohigh. South China, as a whole, is bland. The quotations of import traders are 1600-1700 yuan / ton, slightly higher than the actual transaction.
