Thursday, 13 March 2025 16:40:33 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

As of today, March 13, Turkish domestic rebar spot prices have mostly fallen by TRY 100/mt ($3-4/mt) amid sluggish demand, while only rising by TRY 100/mt ($1/mt) following Kardemir's rebar sale yesterday, compared to Monday, March 10. Accordingly, 12 mm rebar spot prices in Turkey have settled at TRY 24,700-25,300/mt or $562-576/mt ex-warehouse, depending on the region, at an exchange rate of $1 = TRY 36.61.

The official rebar prices in the Marmara and Izmir regions vary at $570-590/mt ex-works, stable over the same period, including Icdas A.S.’s prices, while the workable rebar prices in these regions vary at $565-585/mt ex-works, down by $5/mt on the lower end for cash payment only.

Two Iskenderun-based mills are offering rebar at TRY 25,900-26,000/mt ($590-592/mt) ex-works. Sources report a few re-rollers in this region are applying aggressive pricing policies and giving additional discounts.

Kardemir closed its rebar sales yesterday evening at its list price of $571/mt ex-works and succeeded in selling around 25,000 mt of rebar, SteelOrbis has heard.

As of today, rebar offers in the Turkish spot market are as follows:

Region Dimension Price ($/mt) Price (TRY/mt) Price changes ($/mt) Price changes (TRY/mt)
