Meanwhile, demand for Turkish producers' HRC has remained on the strong side. The HRC list prices of Turkish producers for their domestic market are still in the range of $590-600/mt ex-works. Market sources report that Ukrainian HRC offers to the Turkish market have had no impact on the demand for local products. Turkish buyers have found Ukrainian offers to be on the high side, while volumes offered to Turkey have been lower compared to July, before Metinvest suspended its exports.
