Turkish domestic merchant bar list prices have risen by TRY 150-325/mt ($10-34/mt) amid the trend in the import scrap segment and currency fluctuations. A merchant bar re-roller in the Iskenderun region has stopped quoting on lira basis due to the rapid currency fluctuations and has started offering US dollar prices for now.
Most Turkish mills are currently offering HEA/HEB (100-200 mm, standard) at around $800-825/mt ex-works, except Kardemir A.S. Most re-rollers are mainly offering for May delivery, while a few re-rollers are continuing to offer limited tonnages from their stocks. “Sizes up to 160 mm are easier to find from stocks, while sizes in the range of 180-300mm requires longer delivery terms over one month,” one source mentioned.
