Iron prices stabilized on Monday, January 26, 2026, in the markets, after a decline that reached nearly 4,000 Egyptian pounds last month, followed by a recovery to previous levels.
Local markets are anticipating the announcement of the new price per ton of iron for the upcoming month next month, amid continuous monitoring by contracting companies and consumers, especially given the importance of iron as a key component in the construction materials sector.
The price per ton of iron in Egypt today ranged between 35,000 Egyptian pounds to 37,000 Egyptian pounds at the factory gate, reaching the consumer with an increase estimated at about 1,000 pounds per ton, depending on the governorate or the type of iron company, averaging around 35,000 pounds.
It was confirmed that iron prices are witnessing noticeable stability in the local market, following the decline recorded by companies and distributors in the recent period.
It was clarified that the recent decline amounted to about 4,000 pounds, which was reflected in the stability of iron selling prices among distributors, with prices ranging between 35,200 pounds to about 37,000 pounds per ton.

• Beshay Steel price: 34,600 pounds.

Meanwhile, the average price among some distributors in the republic’s governorates was about 35,000 pounds per ton, based on the monthly price and the announced fixed price, with slight variations depending on the factory type, company, and geographic distribution areas.
Iron is one of the most important raw materials used in construction materials, relied upon by many for executing various construction projects. This makes the stability of its prices an influential factor in construction and building activity during the current phase.
