The relative stability of rebar price during last week was due to the market's belief that prices have reached the bottom. Its average price changed from USD 659/mt to USD 654/mt.

Weekly Analysis:

In the world market:

Oil price is upward. Billet demand has not changed and its price shows no signs of decreasing. Scrap market is also almost stable, so there is no reason for price reduction or weak demand.

 

In the domestic market:

In the domestic market, the government continues to put pressure on prices downward trend. Base price of billet is about USD 504 /mt and DRI is USD 315 /mt for the coming week. These prices cannot be reduced further. The market knows this, while it also has the experience of gas shortage since the end of November, that's why it does not consider the price floor to be too far from today's prices.

In any case, most traders believe that prices will not move much, but the volume of transactions will improve, while lack of liquidity is very noticeable in the market, and with the concentration of government accounts at the central bank, the lending power of banks will decrease and recession would intensify.
