As of today, December 18, local rebar prices in the Turkish spot market have fallen by TRY 100-300/mt ($2-7/mt) against the backdrop of sluggish demand and ongoing currency fluctuations, compared to December 15.

Official rebar offers for cash payments in the Marmara and Izmir regions, including İçdaş's prices, have settled at $560-595/mt ex-works, while acceptable prices are at $555-585/mt ex-works, both unchanged over the same period. Producers in the Marmara region are testing rebar sales at $580-585/mt ex-works for late December delivery, down by $10/mt compared to December 15.
