During the past week, demand for Turkish wire rod in the export markets has remained at low levels, while Turkish wire rod export prices have declined further, decreasing by $30/mt week on week to $470-490/mt FOB, as a result of the falls recorded in global billet quotations since the beginning of May.
 
Buyers in Turkey's target markets are still postponing their new wire rod transactions as they still believe that Turkish wire rod export prices will fall further.
