Why are Steel Rebar (Europe) Prices so high?
09-12-2025 - Over the past month, the price of Steel Rebar on the London Metal Exchange (LME) has risen from $540/t to $564/t. This increase suggests either a growing demand or supply constraints in the raw material market, reflecting broader economic factors affecting steel production and consumption. The forecast for Steel Rebar (LME) is $561.45/t, slightly below the current price of $564/t, indicating a minor -0.5% change and suggesting a generally stable trend. The associated risk is minimal due to the small price fluctuation.
The forecast indicates a downward price trend for Steel Rebar, primarily influenced by technical data, which has a -$2.06/t impact. While supply data points to upward pressure, demand, flows, and technical data suggest a decrease, with price signals and the futures curve being the most influential factors.
Contrastingly, a report by S&P Global highlights that the forward curve for Turkish rebar futures on the LME maintained a contango structure in December 2024. This suggests that futures traders expect Turkish rebar prices in the physical market to rise in the near term. This external perspective contrasts with the forecast, which predicts a price decrease to $561.45/t in the coming month.
