Over the past week, Turkish merchant bar producers have kept their local prices unchanged in the local currency with only minor changes on US dollar basis, against the backdrop of the ongoing currency fluctuations. One Iskenderun-based mill has issued its equal angle price at TRY 23,500/mt ($605/mt) ex-works today, May 21.
Most merchant bar sellers are offering either for deliveries in June or from stocks, depending on the size.
