Over the past week, international demand received by Turkish wire rod producers has been observed to be at strong levels. Receiving demand in particular from the European Union and Africa, Turkish wire rod producers are content as their recently increased price offers have gained acceptance from buyers, while they do not plan another price hike in the short term. On the other hand, Far Eastern buyers still consider the current range to be on the high side and are exerting pressure on Turkish wire rod export offers. Meanwhile, Turkish wire rod mills have kept their export offers stable week on week at $540-550/mt FOB.
