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.

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 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.
