BEIJING (Scrap Monster): Major Taiwanese long steel product manufacturer-Feng Hsin Iron and Steel Co. has announced further cut in rebar prices. Meantime, the company has decided to keep the steel section base price and scrap purchasing prices unchanged.

The company has cut the base price of rebar several times during the previous five weeks. Feng Hsin has cut the rebar base price by as much as NT$ 1,900 per ton over this period. The sharp fall in scrap prices and plunging billet prices have forced the company to further reduce the rebar prices.

According to the company press release, scrap purchasing prices will remain flat from the prices announced towards end of previous week. The scrap purchasing prices for the week will range between NT$ 4,500 per ton and NT$ 5,000 per ton, unchanged from the previous week, Feng Hsin press release stated.

The list prices of rebar will also see a cut of NT$ 400 per ton. The prices that had averaged at NT$ 12,100 per ton during the previous week, will now be reduced to NT$ 11,700 per ton during this week. The price for section steel during the week will be in the range of NT$ 17,000 per ton, remaining unchanged from the previous week prices.

Feng Hsin Iron & Steel Co., Ltd is a Taiwanese company principally engaged in the manufacture, processing and distribution of iron and steel products. It is one of the largest steel long products manufacturers in Taiwan.

EGA to Pilot E40 Smelting Tech at Al Taweelah, Aiming for Higher Output and Lower Energy Use

[SMM Aluminum Express News] Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) will pilot its new E40 smelting technology on 13 DX reduction cells at the Al Taweelah smelter, targeting higher aluminum output with lower energy consumption. If subsequently deployed across all 808 DX cells in Potlines 1 and 2, EGA estimates the upgrade could increase hot-metal production by around 67,000 tonnes/year, while reducing net specific energy consumption and associated power-generation CO₂ emissions by approximately 6% per tonne of aluminum produced. EGA has accelerated the E40 pilot so the modifications can be installed during the ongoing restoration of Al Taweelah following the March 28 shutdown. The technology is designed as a retrofit for existing DX cells, allowing EGA to extract additional production from its existing smelting infrastructure rather than constructing a new potline. The company will use the 13-cell pilot to validate performance before deciding on wider deployment across the 808-cell fleet.

ADC12 Market Stable, Few Price Cuts Amid High Costs and Weak Demand Recovery

[SMM Aluminum Alloy Daily Review] ADC12 market quotes were largely stable today, with only a few enterprises lowering prices by 100 yuan/mt. Although aluminum prices and futures pulled back, constrained by high costs, enterprises showed relatively limited willingness to proactively cut prices, and sentiment to hold prices firm persisted in the market. ADC12 prices are expected to continue a sideways consolidation pattern in the short term, with cost support and compliant procurement pressure limiting the downside, while weak demand recovery will also cap the elasticity of further price rises.
