Today, May 31, Turkish steel producer Icdas has decreased its local rebar price by TRY 160/mt ($10/mt) compared to the end of last week to TRY 7,420/mt ($740/mt) ex-works. The reason is the negative demand outlook and the downturn in the import scrap segment.
The producer has also issued its wire rod price today at TRY 8,425/mt ex-works, down by TRY 60/mt over the same period. The producer’s wire rod price on US dollar basis has moved sideways at $840/mt ex-works.
Prices on Turkish lira basis include 18 percent VAT, while offers on US dollar basis do not.
