Amendment to this week’s pricing schedule for Egypt steel billet index, rebar price

Fastmarkets is amending its pricing schedules for MB-STE-0516 steel billet, import, cfr Egypt, and MB-STE-0112 steel reinforcing bar (rebar), domestic, exw Egypt, for the week October 6-10, 2025.

The following prices will be published on Wednesday October 8 instead of their scheduled pricing day of October 9. This accommodates the change of Egypt’s Armed Forces Day public holiday from October 6 to October 9.

These prices would normally be priced the next working day, but will instead be priced on the preceding day rather than on Friday, which is not a working day in Egypt.

MB-STE-0516 steel billet, import, cfr Egypt, $ per tonne

MB-STE-0112 steel reinforcing bar (rebar), domestic, exw Egypt, E£ per tonne

Fastmarkets’ pricing holiday calendar has been updated to reflect these changes. You can find the pricing holiday calendar at this link.
