For buyers & sellers: Act on Iran’s extended export ban, SA’s new duty‑rebate process, and falling FOB prices with week‑on‑week data. Download Report.

For Procurement Managers, This Report Helps You Solve:

Whether to lock in billet and HRC orders right now, while China’s export prices are at four‑week lows and Iran’s ban has been formally extended, or risk waiting for even lower levels that may not come because the bid‑offer spread is narrowing and freight costs are rising again.
How to file an ITAC rebate application for South Africa immediately now that the revenue service has published the first actionable compliance pathway, allowing you to import steel products duty‑free if they are not manufactured locally — and what documentation you need before your cargo arrives.
How to accelerate your Nigerian orders before the July 1 excise tax deadline, while the naira is stable for the fourth consecutive week and reserves are above US$50 billion, using the correct SONCAP procedures that are now mandatory after the temporary waiver expired.

For Sales Managers, This Report Helps You Solve:

Whether to hold firm on your current offers despite four consecutive weeks of price declines, using the Iran ban extension, a narrowing bid‑offer spread, and a stable forward curve as evidence that the correction is reaching exhaustion — and that discounting now would mean leaving margin on the table before the next leg up.
How to redirect structural steel volumes away from South Africa’s prohibitive combined duties and instead capture the two strongest procurement markets in Africa right now: Nigeria, where a tax deadline and a stable currency are creating urgent buyer demand, and Egypt, where the pound just hit its best level since flotation and rebar consumption surged in the first quarter.
How to time your CFR quotes for Morocco’s imminent safeguard reduction, for East African shipments now that Dar es Salaam’s railway expansion is operational, and for South African buyers who qualify for the rebate pathway — using logistics and trade‑remedy expertise as your competitive differentiator.

The core value of this report, in one sentence:
Iran just extended its steel export ban indefinitely, locking out 10 million tonnes of annual capacity, while South Africa opened a tariff‑rebate pathway that allows duty‑free imports — the buyers and sellers who act on these two shifts this week will control the supply chains that their competitors cannot access.

This weekly report includes a detailed week‑on‑week comparison of price movements, policy shifts, currency changes, freight cost trends, and trade‑remedy compliance updates, so you can quantify exactly how much the market moved in seven days and where the next catalyst will take it.
