Today, December 23, official wire rod prices in Turkey have mostly fallen by $5/mt amid sluggish demand, while one Iskenderun-based mill has closed its wire rod sales and is quoting prices on depending on individual orders.

According to sources, workable wire rod prices in Turkey are standing at $565-585/mt ex-works.

Most buyers are in a wait and see stance and purchase their daily needs only.
