Ex-Ukraine plate offers for Turkey decline

SteelOrbis has heard that Ukrainian steelmaker Ilyich production commercial plates are being offered to Turkey at $540/mt CFR for March shipment, whereas the same producer's shipbuilding plates are being offered to Turkey at around $560-565/mt CFR, also for March shipment. All offers indicate approximately a $40/mt decrease compared to recent weeks. However, no deals have been concluded yet, mostly due to the tightening in the machinery and shipbuilding sectors in Turkey.
