2015

Rising global raw material costs and increased domestic demand are pushing Taiwanese steelmakers to hike rebar prices, signaling a strong market recovery.

What Happened

Market Demand: Steel rebar orders across Taiwan have surged recently, boosting seller confidence and fueling expectations for price hikes from major producers like Feng Hsin and Wei Chih.

Cost Drivers: Rising international prices for scrap steel and steel billets have increased production costs, prompting buyers to place orders quickly to avoid future price increases.

Industry Sentiment: The stable-to-high pricing guidance from China Steel has provided market stability, reinforcing the trend of a recovering steel sector.

Outlook: With import costs for billets rising, domestic steel rebar prices are well-supported, pointing toward a robust performance for the sector during the traditional peak season.
