According to market sources, rebar prices in the local Turkish spot market have decreased by TRY 30/mt in the Marmara region compared to December 3, while they have remained stable in other regions over the period in question. On the other hand, prices on US dollar basis have fallen by $10/mt in the Marmara region due to the fluctuation of the exchange rate in the same period. Market players state that spot prices have generally decreased in the Marmara region after domestic producer Icdas reduced its prices. Meanwhile, buyers are still hesitating to conclude deals due to the approach of the New Year and are postponing their bookings, maintaining a wait-and-see stance.
