Today, January 4, Turkish mill Kardemir has hiked its prices of engineering grade wire rod products by $40/mt depending on the grade and size, compared to Tuesday, December 20. The main reasons are higher production costs and the positive sentiment in the import scrap segment and currency fluctuations.
The producer has issued its list prices only on US dollar basis, for cash payment, on ex-works basis.
