Flat steel prices in Turkey's Gebze and Eregli regions have remained unchanged as compared to last week, but discounts of about $10-20/mt are also available in the market for real customers. Meanwhile, the weak demand level in the Turkish domestic market is not anticipated to improve in the short term. On the other hand, the general expectation is that cold rolled coil (CRC) mills will revise their offers downward, but no report of price revision has been heard so far.
