SteelOrbis has been informed by market sources that local producers' price levels in the Turkish domestic market for 6-7 mm mesh quality wire rod are as follows:
Region | Price ($/mt) | Price change ($/mt) | |
24.05.2016 | |||
Marmara | 440-470 | ↓ | 30 |
Thrace | 430-440 | ↓ | 30 |
Izmir | 440-460 | ↓ | 30 |
Iskenderun | 420-440 | ↓ | 40 |
The above prices, which are on actual weight basis, exclude VAT and are on ex-works basis. The offers may differ depending on buyers and order sizes.
During the past week, domestic wire rod prices in Turkey have continued their downward movement, while demand in the local Turkish wire rod market has revived slightly. Market players state that long-standing postponements of wire rod purchases have caused downstream users' needs to increase, and so their purchasing activity has improved over the past week, though it is still based solely on the needs of Turkish downstream users.
