It is reported that Taiwan exported 17,800 tonnes of wire rod in October 2009, up by 12% MoM while down by 12% YoY.

For the wire rod which diameter is below 14mm, Taiwan achieved an average exported price of TWD 20,090 per tonne in October 2009, up by TWD 150 per tonne on September.

As for the wire rod which diameter is over 14mm, Taiwan achieved an average exported price of TWD 20,180 per tonne, up by TWD 90 per tonne.

The main reason why the average exported price enjoyed a pick up is because the exported price to Malaysia and Thailand increased.
