Last week, import
plate prices had started to trend sideways in the Turkish domestic market, where demand has been stagnant for a long time. Turning to the current week, European origin
plate offers have started to soften again, while Ukrainian origin
plate prices have remained stable. In the Turkish domestic market, import
plate prices will likely follow a sideways trend again in the coming period.
Currently, steel
plate offers to
Turkey given by Ukrainian steel producer Alchevsk Iron and Steel Works are still standing at $555-560/mt CFR, while another Ukrainian mill
Ilyich Iron & Steel Works is offering
plate to
Turkey at the base price level of $555-560/mt CFR. In addition, Macedonian mill Makstil's offers are now standing at $720/mt CFR. All the prices are for December output.
