The rebar prices in the commodity market remain volatile in the current year, because of the dynamics of its supply and demand. If in January, the volume of put forward reinforcement brands СТ 12-35 ГС amounted to 460 tons, in March this figure first rose to 917 tons, then fell to an average of 728 tons. Against this background, the weighted average price of reinforcement during January-March fell from 2.8 million to 2.3 million soums per ton.

If, in April, the average monthly sales volume of rebar was 794 tons, in June it dropped to 683 tons.

In general, about 32 thousand tons of ferrous metal were sold during the period under review that is 18% higher than last year. However, its share on the commodity market of ferrous metal decreased by 5% and amounted to 63%, due to increased sales of other kinds of ferrous metal.
