Today, September 30, Turkish domestic rebar spot prices have risen by TRY 200-700/mt ($4-16/mt) amid the ongoing currency fluctuations and relatively better demand from post-earthquake construction projects in the Iskenderun region, as compared to Thursday, September 26. In addition, there are rumors that natural gas prices may increase as of October 1. Accordingly, 12 mm rebar spot prices in Turkey have settled at TRY 24,900-26,000/mt or $607-634/mt ex-warehouse, depending on the region, at an exchange rate of $1 = TRY 34.14.
The workable rebar prices in the Izmir and Marmara regions vary at $600-620/mt , rising by $5/mt on the higher end over the same period, including prices from Icdas A.S., for serious buyers and cash payment only.
One Iskenderun-based mill has issued its rebar price at TRY 26,100/mt ($636/mt) ex-works today. Another mill in this region is offering rebar at TRY 26,000/mt ($634/mt) ex-works, while a few re-rollers in the same region are also testing TRY 26,000/mt ($634/mt) ex-warehouse, SteelOrbis has heard.
