Iran: Steel billet prices rise amid slow supply flow

  • Iran’s billet prices rose by 8,000 rial/kg to 322,500 rial/kg, while rebars increased by 5,000 rial/kg to 385,000 rial/kg on 4 Aug’25.
  • Power outages hit industrial and household goods production, keeping billet and slab supply low.
  • Meanwhile, prolonged economic stagnation triggered capital outflows to more active markets such as Oman. This could slow down production in the long term and push up billet prices.
