In this week's Turkish domestic hot dip galvanized (HDG) steel market, producers have maintained their prices at previous levels, though discounts of about $10/mt are still prevalent for actual buyers. Although actual demand for HDG has not improved in the Turkish domestic market, the volume of inquiries has shown a slight increase.
In the Turkish domestic HDG steel market, the sales prices of local production material are as follows:
Product |
Price ($/mt) |
HDG 0.50 mm 100gr/m² |
790-800 |
HDG 1 mm 100gr/m² |
760-770 |
HDG 2 mm 100gr/m² |
740-760 |
The above prices, which may differ depending on product quality, are ex-works, exclude VAT, and are for advance payments.
On the other hand, HDG demand coming from Turkey's export markets has started to indicate some liveliness, though in smaller volumes, contributing to a more optimistic market mood. Turkish HDG coil export offers to certain Middle Eastern markets are currently standing at $810-820/mt ex-works for July production.
