Steel price forecast - European long products

Falling international scrap prices are expected to lead to a decline in transaction prices for EU long products in the coming months according to an assessment just published by MEPS.

Coupled with a slowdown in construction over the winter months, this trend is likely to lead to a sharp decline in rebar prices in Europe as the end of the year arrives. A price correction can then be expected in the beginning of 2008.
