Turkish plate prices move on soft trend

SteelOrbis has learned that traders' prices for October production St37 grade steel plate in Turkey's Gebze and Eregli regions are as follows:

 

Thickness x Width	Price ($/mt)
	Gebze	Eregli
4-12 mm x 1,500 mm	660
12-20 mm x 1,500 mm	670
15-40 mm x 1,500 mm	685-710	665
15-40 mm x 2,000 mm	715	695

The above prices are ex-warehouse and for advance payments, exclusive of 18 percent VAT.
 
The discounts given last week by traders are reflected as decreases in their list prices in the current week, with their offers indicating a decline of $15/mt. Plate demand in the domestic market has remained weak, while lower offers than the list prices are available in the market for real buyers.
