Meanwhile, the mini-mill is seeking to restore profitability after several rounds of rebar list price cuts over the past two months, Mysteel Global learnt.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, prices of rebar and square billet in the Chinese mainland have recovered recently amid easing market pressure from the supply side, which also boosted positive sentiment in Taiwan&#8217;s steel market to some extent.<\/p>\n<p>Mysteel&#8217;s assessment showed that as of 20 July, China&#8217;s national price of HRB400E 20mm rebar stood at RMB 3,286\/tonne ($485\/t) including 13% VAT, higher by RMB 11\/t ($2\/t) from one week before, while the price of Tangshan Q235 150mm square billet in North China&#8217;s Hebei province gained by RMB 30\/t ($4\/t) on week to RMB 2,980\/t ($440\/t) EXW and including the 13% VAT.<\/p>\n<p>However, prices of global scrap delivered to Taiwan are still struggling amid a downtrend, which may limit the room for further rises in local rebar prices, Mysteel Global noted.<\/p>\n<p>The US-origin HMS 80:20 scrap price fell by another $5\/t on week to $330\/t CFR Taiwan on 20 July, extending its losing streak to eight consecutive weeks with a cumulative drop of $34\/t. No quotation for Japanese H2 scrap was available over the past week, according to a market source in Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: This article has been published in accordance with a content exchange agreement between Mysteel Global and BigMint.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stronger spot sales last week, firmer Chinese prices prompt rebar price hike Falling scrap prices&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73263,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[313],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iron-steel"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4.jpg?v=1784722782",1280,720,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4-150x150.jpg?v=1784722782",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4-300x169.jpg?v=1784722782",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4-768x432.jpg?v=1784722782",640,360,true],"large":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4-1024x576.jpg?v=1784722782",640,360,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4.jpg?v=1784722782",1280,720,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4.jpg?v=1784722782",1280,720,false],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4-1115x715.jpg?v=1784722782",1115,715,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4-800x500.jpg?v=1784722782",800,500,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4-1024x576.jpg?v=1784722782",1024,576,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4-540x340.jpg?v=1784722782",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4-400x250.jpg?v=1784722782",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Biz Trend 24","author_link":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/author\/online24"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?cat=313&#038;lang=en\" rel=\"category\">Iron &amp; Steel<\/a>","tag_info":"Iron &amp; Steel","comment_count":0,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Untitled-design-16-4.jpg?v=1784722782","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=73262"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73264,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73262\/revisions\/73264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/73263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=73262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=73262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=73262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
