Prices in the local Turkish plate spot market, where demand has remained poor, have been trending sideways over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, market players state that, while demand has remained weak for a long time now, the overall demand recovery seen in the second quarter this year for other flat steel products may impact plate trading activity as well.
SteelOrbis has learned that traders' prices for stock material St37 grade steel plate in Turkey's Gebze and Eregli regions are as follows:
Thickness x width | Price ($/mt) | |
Gebze | Eregli | |
4-12 mm x 1,500 mm | 590-595 | |
12-20 mm x 1,500 mm | 595-600 | |
15-40 mm x 1,500 mm | 605-610 | 585-595 |
15-40 mm x 2,000 mm | 635-640 | 615-625 |
The above prices are ex-warehouse and for advance payments, exclusive of 18 percent VAT.
