Taiwan’s rebar market is under heavy pressure as weak demand and sluggish output cuts leave supply far above consumption. In the south, trading has softened again, and sellers say they are struggling to move cargo even after trimming offers.
Feng Hsin kept its rebar list unchanged this week, but market participants say the posted level has little real meaning in southern trades. Mid-Taiwan mills are still holding firm, though transactions remain limited.
Market participants say two problems are driving the downturn: construction delays tied to the construction soil crisis and a collapsing property market. Monthly rebar consumption has slumped to below 300,000 tons across June and July, falling significantly short of normal levels.
They warn that even past seasonal weather disruptions, unfavorable conditions will likely continue, threatening widespread contraction for upstream producers and downstream processors alike.
