TUSPIPE | Weekly Steel Insight | May 18, 2026

The steel market showed a cautious but stable trend last week. Chinese rebar prices slightly increased, while steel inventories continued declining at a faster pace. Demand improved in the short term, but the market still lacks strong momentum for a major price increase.

TUSPIPE expects steel prices to remain stable with small fluctuations in the near future. As summer approaches, downstream construction demand may gradually slow down, while steel mill production continues recovering. This creates a balanced market with limited upside and downside pressure.

For buyers planning projects in Q3 and Q4, now may be one of the better times to secure orders. Current pricing remains relatively stable, and Chinese mills still maintain flexible export schedules and steady production capacity.

TUSPIPE continues supporting customers worldwide with reliable carbon steel pipes, structural pipes, and customized steel solutions.

TUSPIPE Weekly Steel Outlook | May 11, 2026

The Chinese steel market showed continued strength last week as rebar prices increased by 2.17% to RMB 3,489 per ton. Market inventories continued to decline, while high raw material and energy costs supported finished steel prices. Northern China remained relatively strong due to supply restrictions and maintenance at several steel mills.

TUSPIPE believes steel prices will likely remain firm with moderate fluctuations in the near term. Demand conditions may vary by region, especially as rainy weather begins affecting southern construction activity. However, controlled inventories and strong production costs continue to support the market overall.

Now may be a suitable time for buyers to confirm steel pipe orders before supply conditions tighten further during the summer season. TUSPIPE continues to provide SSAW pipes, LSAW pipes, ERW pipes, and structural steel products with reliable production schedules and export support for customers worldwide.

[April 27TH, 2026] STEEL PIPE PRICE TREND – TUSPIPE

Favorable:

The national average rebar price increased to 3,391 RMB/ton, up 1.13% week-on-week, showing clear price support.
Apparent demand reached 2.5044 million tons, exceeding last year’s level, indicating strong downstream recovery.
Inventory dropped to 7.6645 million tons, with continued destocking improving overall supply-demand balance.
Pre-holiday restocking expectations from both steel mills and end users are supporting short-term demand.

Adverse factors:

Weekly demand around 2.5 million tons may have reached the seasonal peak, limiting further upside potential.
Supply has started to increase slightly, which may offset part of the demand-driven price rise.

In a word, it is expected that the Chinese steel price in dollar would remain stable with slight upward fluctuations this week (April 27, 2026 – May 1, 2026).

TUSPIPE – STEEL PIPE PRICE TREND – APRIL 20, 2026

The steel market last week showed a stable upward trend. Rebar averaged 3,353 RMB/ton, up 0.93%. Production dropped to 2.13 million tons, and inventories continued to decline. Demand improved to 2.38 million tons, reflecting steady project activity. Market confidence also increased as macro sentiment improved, supporting both futures and spot prices.

TUSPIPE expects prices to remain firm in the coming weeks. Strong cost support from raw materials and low inventories at mills are key factors. Although demand is recovering, it is not strong enough to drive sharp increases, keeping the market stable with slight upward momentum.

This is a good time to place orders. Prices are supported but not yet high, and supply remains stable. Securing orders now helps avoid potential price increases and ensures timely delivery for upcoming projects.

13/04/2026

TUSPIPE | Steel Market Insight | April 13th, 2026

From April 7 to April 10, rebar prices averaged RMB 3,322/ton, showing a slight 0.21% decline. Supply increased with production at 2.15 million tons, while demand reached 2.29 million tons, though growth remained moderate. Market transactions stayed stable, reflecting controlled activity.

Looking forward, steel prices may show resilience with a slight upward trend. Supply recovery will continue, but demand is expected to remain limited. Meanwhile, high raw material inventories may weaken cost support, yet current prices already reflect these pressures.

This creates a balanced market environment. Prices are unlikely to drop significantly, while the chance of a gradual rebound is increasing. TUSPIPE recommends placing orders at this stage to secure stable pricing and ensure reliable delivery for upcoming projects.

30/03/2026

Last week, the steel market remained under pressure, with prices slightly decreasing to 3,324 RMB/ton. Supply held steady, while inventory stayed high. Demand showed moderate strength but failed to accelerate inventory reduction, indicating a cautious downstream market.

TUSPIPE expects steel prices to remain range-bound with a slight downward trend. Raw material costs continue to support the market, but demand recovery remains limited, especially in construction sectors.

This balance creates a stable environment for procurement. Prices are not volatile, and suppliers are more open to negotiation. Waiting for a significant drop may not be effective due to strong cost support. Now is a good time to secure orders, ensure supply stability, and avoid future risks. TUSPIPE is ready to support your needs with reliable products and fast response.

TUSPIPE Weekly Steel Insight | Controlled Market, Clear Timing – March 23, 2026

From March 16 to 20, steel prices remained stable. Rebar averaged RMB 3,329/ton, down slightly by 0.3%. Supply increased, inventory began to decrease, and demand showed signs of recovery. Rising oil prices and strong raw materials continue to support costs.

In the coming weeks, the market is expected to fluctuate within a stable range. Cost factors provide strong support, while demand remains cautious. Significant price drops are unlikely.

This makes the current period a favorable time for procurement. Stable pricing reduces risk, while future demand recovery may push prices higher.

TUSPIPE maintains steady production and delivery to support your projects. Placing orders now helps secure supply and control costs effectively.

TUSPIPE Weekly Steel Market Outlook | March 16, 2026

Last week, the Chinese steel market showed a clear upward movement. From March 9 to March 13, the average rebar price increased to 3,339 RMB per ton, rising 1.18% compared with the previous week. Steel production reached about 1.953 million tons as short-process mills restarted operations. Market inventory was recorded at approximately 8.94 million tons, while weekly consumption reached 1.768 million tons. At the same time, higher crude oil prices and shipping risks increased raw material and logistics costs.

Market expectations suggest that steel prices may continue to fluctuate within a firm range. Strong cost pressure from iron ore, energy, and transportation is likely to support prices in the near term. However, demand recovery remains gradual, which may limit sharp increases.

For buyers planning upcoming projects, this creates a strategic purchasing window. Securing orders with TUSPIPE now helps ensure stable supply and competitive pricing before further cost increases appear in the market.

TUSPIPE Steel Market Overview – March 9, 2026

The Chinese construction steel market remained relatively stable during the week of February 24 to February 27. The national average rebar price stood at about 3,303 RMB per ton. Weekly production reached roughly 1.651 million tons, while inventories accumulated to approximately 8.006 million tons. Demand remained relatively weak due to the Spring Festival holiday period, with apparent consumption recorded at around 335,500 tons. However, improving macroeconomic sentiment and supportive domestic policies helped stabilize market expectations.

In the coming weeks, the steel market may continue to operate within a relatively stable range. Supply is expected to increase gradually as electric arc furnace steel mills resume production after the Lantern Festival. Meanwhile, demand recovery will depend on the pace of construction project restarts and infrastructure investment.

For international buyers, this market phase may present a valuable opportunity. TUSPIPE believes the current balance between supply recovery and stable pricing allows customers to secure steel pipe supply while maintaining cost control. Placing orders during this period may help ensure stable procurement for upcoming projects.
