The softening trends in raw material and semi-finished products have been causing the local Turkish merchant bar prices to drop down. As of February 10, merchant bar prices in the Turkish domestic market, depending on size, thickness and region, are at the following levels: small IPN-UPN are priced at TRY 770-820/mt ($476-506/mt), angles are at TRY 770-820/mt ($476-506/mt), while flat bars and square bars are at TRY 780-820/mt ($482-506/mt) - all prices are ex-works, on actual weight basis and excluding VAT. Some producers may give offers below these levels depending on their stock levels.
