Market sources report that demand in Turkey's flat steel export markets has remained on the poor side over the past week. Market sources state that, due to liquidity issues, Turkish buyers intend to wait for new list prices at the start of 2015 before beginning their purchases. Market sources say that demand for Turkish cold rolled coil (CRC) in the export markets has not shown any improvement yet.
In the meantime, Turkey's hot rolled coil (HRC) export offers have remained unchanged over the past week at $515-520/mt FOB, while Turkish CRC export prices have remained at $615-620/mt FOB over the same period.
