Trading Rebar Price Risk – Without Holding Stock or Taking Delivery
A practical way to manage rebar price movements using financial agreements, without stock, storage, or changing how you buy steel.

How it works: Manage the price, not the steel
Rebar prices can move quickly, often between tender, order placement, and delivery.
If you think prices are going to rise or fall, you can manage that risk directly, without buying stock or changing your supply chain.
Terra Fortis helps structure a simple price agreement linked to an agreed benchmark.
It can run for a single month or across multiple delivery periods, aligned to your programme.
You choose the notional volume, the reference price, and the time period.
Another party takes the opposite position. At expiry, the difference is settled in cash, based on the agreed index movement.
No material changes hands.
No warehouse, no early buying, no operational disruption.
This allows contractors, fabricators, and developers to manage rebar price risk alongside their physical contracts, rather than trying to predict or absorb it.
Why contractors and fabricators use this approach
Protect margins when fixing prices months ahead of delivery
Manage exposure without tying up working capital in stock
Separate price risk from fabrication and installation risk
Align price protection to real programmes and packages
Settle transparently using established benchmarks
This can be used as a standalone tool for a specific package, or layered into a wider commercial strategy across multiple projects.
Whether you are fixing a lump-sum contract, pricing a frame package, or managing exposure across a live order book, Terra Fortis helps structure price protection in a way that fits how construction actually works.
If rebar price movement is affecting how you tender, price, or commit, it’s worth a conversation.
