As of today, July 19, Turkish wire rod prices have mostly remained stable over the past week, while a few mills started offering wire rod prices at the beginning of this week. Most wire rod producers are offering mainly for August or early September, while a limited tonnage is available from stocks depending on the size and quality.
One Izmir-based mill is offering its wire rod price to the Thrace region this week. One Iskenderun-mill opened its mesh grade wire rod sales at $720/mt ex-works yesterday, while another mill in the region has opened its wire rod sales at $760/mt ex-works this week.
On the demand side, most buyers are not in a rush and are taking their time in order to monitor the import scrap price trend.
