Import plate demand in Turkey has been on the weak side for a long period, while no improvements in demand have been recorded in the market. In the meantime, Ukrainian plate offers to Turkey have declined by $20/mt over the past three weeks, while ex-Macedonia plate prices have moved on a stable trend over the given period.

Currently, steel plate offers to Turkey given by Ukraine-based Alchevsk Iron and Steel Works are standing at $540/mt CFR, while Ilyich Iron & Steel Works is offering plate to Turkey at the base price level of $540/mt CFR. In addition, Macedonia-based Makstil's offers are still standing at $710/mt CFR - all for August deliveries.
