Italian stainless prices in Turkey

304 quality stainless steel bar ex-Padana mill of Italy is being sold in Turkey at Euro 3,4/kg + VAT while 304 quality stainless steel pipe (1,5-2 mm) is being sold at Euro 3,85-4.2/kg + VAT. Most of the Italian producers raised their stainless steel bar prices on the back of the rising nickel prices. Although stainless steel pipe prices have not been increased, it seems inevitable for stainless pipe prices to increase early next week.
