Rebar prices reached their April peak of CNY 3,767/ton on April 25, while indicating their lowest level for the month on April 1 at CNY 3,523/ton.

The market situation improved in April, with rebar stocks being consumed at a decent speed, which strongly boosted prices. Before the Labor Day holiday (May 1-5), steel consumers were expected to increase rebar inventories, which positively impacted rebar prices.

In May, demand was not good, which led to a drop in rebar prices. However, China’s issuance of stimulus policies for the real estate sector and long-term sovereign bonds has strengthened the market situation since mid-May, which has had a positive impact on rebar prices.
