Over the past month, Bulgarian domestic rebar and wire rod prices have risen by BGN 10-30/mt (€5-15/mt) against the backdrop of the relatively higher import scrap prices for Turkey, while merchant bar and beam prices have followed diverse trends depending on the sizes.

North African rebar and wire rod prices are standing at around $590-605/mt (€563-577/mt) CFR Bulgaria, with freight of around $30-35/mt (€29-33/mt), SteelOrbis has heard.
