Import plate demand in Turkey has been on the weak side for quite a while, while no sign of improvement is likely to be seen.
Currently, steel plate offers to Turkey given by Ukraine-based producers Alchevsk Iron and Steel Works and Ilyich Iron & Steel Works are standing at $550/mt CFR for October shipments, indicating an increase of $10/mt as compared to three weeks ago. In addition, Macedonia-based Makstil's steel plate offers to Turkey are standing at $740/mt CFR for shipments in September, up $20/mt as compared to last month amid the general uptrend seen in flat steel prices.
