Meanwhile, as compared to last week, traders have increased their offers by $30-40/mt for hot rolled coil (HRC), by $10/mt for cold rolled coil (CRC) and by $30/mt for hot rolled pickled and oiled (HR P&O). Traders are reluctant to conclude sales at present as it is believed that, if a strike begins at Erdemir, prices will increase further.
The domestic sales prices of traders for local and imported hot and cold rolled flat steel products in the Eregli and Gebze regions of Turkey are as follows:
