Rising international scrap steel prices are fueling expectations that Feng Hsin will increase rebar prices next week, potentially boosting the broader steel sector.
What Happened
Raw Material Trends: International scrap steel prices have been climbing, putting upward pressure on production costs for domestic steel manufacturers in Taiwan.
Current Pricing: While Feng Hsin maintained stable rebar prices this week, they did increase scrap purchase prices, reflecting the tightening supply-demand balance.
Price Outlook: Industry analysts anticipate that Feng Hsin will likely raise rebar prices by NT$200 to NT$300 per ton next week, supported by seasonal demand and rising raw material costs.
Sector Impact: A successful price hike by Feng Hsin would likely benefit other regional steelmakers, including Hai Kwang, Wei Chih, and Tung Ho Steel, as they head into the peak season.
