| Would rebar price continue to surge in China - 09 Sep, 2010 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
It is an undeniable fact that rebar price surged since this week opening in China only to retract a bit on day 3. However, some think that is only the result of capital speculation and cannot last long. Optimistic market players however think that rebar prices will continue to rise in the balance months of 20201 due to following reasons. 1. Reduced production volumes Electricity restriction policy will undoubtedly be the primary reason. To start with, the policy will have a deep influence on the supply of steel products. Judging from recent statistics, many steel mills have to cut or reduce production for the sake of the policy. Thus the total production volume decreases. Even if production will resumed after the electricity restriction policy is cancelled, the increased of production will be within a certain limit rather than increasing crazily like the first half of year. 2. Higher costs Besides, the electricity restriction policy also influences production cost. One rule of the policy is to apply penalty electricity rate on high energy consuming enterprises such as steel enterprises. Therefore, not only the cost of electricity, but also the cost of iron ore and coal will increase and push up the production cost to certain extent. www.steelprices-china.com is a comprehensive service for tracking real time domestic steel prices and trends in China on daily basis.
