UNIACERO | Steel Price Outlook | April 13th, 2026
The steel market showed slight weakness last week, with rebar averaging RMB 3,322/ton, down 0.21%. Production increased steadily, while demand remained stable but not strong enough to accelerate inventory reduction. Market activity stayed balanced, with moderate transaction levels.
In the coming weeks, prices are expected to fluctuate within a narrow range, with a mild upward tendency. Supply will continue to grow, while demand may not reach last year’s seasonal peak. However, current prices already reflect market pressure, limiting further downside risk.
For buyers, this is a favorable moment to act. With prices close to cost support levels and stability improving, early procurement helps control budgets and ensure supply continuity. UNIACERO remains committed to delivering reliable and standard-compliant steel pipe solutions.
