Platts to rename steel rebar FOB China assessment

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, will change the description of its steel rebar FOB China assessment (STCBZ02), effective April 1, 2026.

The description will be updated from CbnStl Rebar FOB China $/metric ton to Rebar FOB China. The change aims to align descriptions across Asian rebar assessments.

The change will also apply to the associated monthly average (STCBZ23).
