Many steel purchasers still waiting for prices to fall

Purchasers in the Gulf region are still waiting for steel prices to fall. Market trends in recent weeks have seen prices continue to rise. A major collapse in steel prices is not seen in the market at the moment.

Added to this are production cutbacks for steel in China and an Indian market that is increasingly focusing on itself and has no great interest in exports. Not good conditions for more favorable prices. Those who wait too long could soon be faced with the problem that no more material is available or it cannot be delivered on time.
