As of today, May 5, official wire rod prices in Turkey have fallen by $5/mt compared to April 29, amid the ongoing currency fluctuations and sluggish demand. According to sources, one Iskenderun-based mill is rumored to be testing a wire rod price of $605/mt ex-works, down by $5/mt over the same period, depending on the tonnage and payment terms.

According to sources, workable wire rod prices in Turkey have settled at $605-620/mt ex-works, indicating a decrease of $5/mt on the lower end over the same period.
