Recent heavy rains in the southern regions have made the weak demand in the local steel market even more evident, and this has significantly reduced steel shipments and prices. According to meteorological forecasts, it seems that heavy rains will continue in some regions in the south in the near future and off-season effects will increase. Rebar prices are expected to continue their volatile and weak course in the short term.
