It is observed that the local Turkish wire rod market has continued its upward movement during the past week amid the rises recorded in import scrap quotations in Turkey. Market sources report that price increases in the local Turkish wire rod market are becoming more difficult for buyers to accept and with every upward revision of quotations demand weakens further.
