Over the past week, demand in the local Turkish coated coil market has remained at low levels. While purchases in the market are still being made only in line with needs, buyers have been exerting pressure on domestic coated coil prices. As a result, quotations in the local Turkish coated coil market have decreased slightly week on week following transaction negotiations. As market sources do not expect a revival in demand in the short term, they think the rises recorded in import hot rolled coil (HRC) offers to Turkey will be reflected in domestic flat steel and coated coil prices.
Turkish mills’ coated coil prices for their domestic and export markets are presented in the following table:
