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 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 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.
