Demand for domestic production merchant bar in Turkey, which is expected to revive after next month's Feast of Sacrifice holiday, has failed to improve over the past month and is still at low levels as buyers in the local Turkish merchant bar market are concluding deals only in line with their needs. Due to the weak demand conditions, domestic merchant bar prices in the Turkish market have declined by an average of $20/mt compared to the price levels recorded on July 27.
Domestic merchant bar prices in the Turkish market depending on size, thickness and region are at the following levels:
