Turkish merchant bar producers have kept their domestic prices stable over the past week in the local currency, with only minor changes in US dollars, amid the ongoing currency fluctuations. One Iskenderun-based mill has issued its equal angle price at TRY 25,250/mt ($602/mt) ex-works today, October 27.
Most merchant bar sellers are offering either for deliveries in November-early December or from stocks, depending on the size.
Most local buyers are not willing to restock material as the month nears an end.
