SteelOrbis has been informed that CIS billet offers to Turkey have decreased by $5/mt on average during the past week to $390-395/mt CFR. Although ex-CIS offer prices have declined, Turkish buyers are still unwilling to conclude new deals from the CIS, as they still consider ex-CIS billet offers to be on the high side. Turkish buyers are showing more interest in Chinese billet offers than in billet offers from the CIS. Chinese billet suppliers announced an increase in their prices two weeks ago, while it is heard that Chinese billet supplier are still concluding sales in the range of $360-365/mt CFR this week.
