The Turkish hot dip galvanized (HDG) market has continued to witness weak demand, while prices have followed a sideways trend. Meanwhile, no recovery is expected to be seen in August and so the market is already focused on September.
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, Turkish export offers for 0.50 mm 100gr/m² zinc coated HDG coils to certain Middle Eastern markets are still standing at $810-820/mt ex-works for September production.
