According to market sources, rebar prices in the local Turkish spot market have decreased by TRY 5-25/mt compared to November 12, though prices on US dollar basis have fallen by $1-3/mt due to the fluctuation of the exchange rate. Market sources state that demand has improved in the market, particularly in the Marmara region. However, demand in Turkey's Iskenderun region is still considered to be weak.
