Iran: Billet, rebar prices slip amid currency uncertainties, policy tensions

  • Billet prices fell 2,000 rial/kg ($5/t) to 372,000 rial/kg ($885/t), while rebar eased 2,000 rial/kg ($5/t) to 405,000 rial/kg ($963/t). Flats remained firm amid rising exchange rates.
  • Currency and pricing policy tensions persisted, but export-driven demand continued to support billet. Finished steel producers restricted supply, delaying some deliveries.
  • Short-term sentiment is cautiously bullish, though gains hinge on exports and currency stability.
