Over the past week, no significant change has been observed in Turkish welded pipe export prices as market players are waiting for the European Commission’s new import quotas to come into effect in early February. As a result, Turkey’s welded pipe exports to Europe are stagnant for now. Turkish producers’ offer range for ERW pipes and hollow sections with 2-4 mm wall thickness made from hot rolled coil (HRC) of S235 grade as per EN 10219 to their export markets is still at $590-605/mt FOB. Meanwhile, Turkish welded pipe exporters are continuing to sell small tonnages to Africa, the Middle East and the Caucasus, according to market sources.
