Import plate demand in Turkey is still slack. Macedonian plate offers to Turkey have decreased by $10/mt on the lower end as compared to last week, while ex-Ukraine plate offers have remained stable over the same period.
Currently, steel plate offers to Turkey given by Ukraine-based Alchevsk Iron and Steel Works are standing at $550/mt CFR, while another Ukrainian producer Ilyich Iron & Steel Works is offering plate to Turkey at the base price level of $550/mt CFR - both for shipments in November. In addition, Macedonia-based Makstil's offers are now standing at $760-770/mt CFR Turkey for October deliveries.
