Over the past week, Turkish domestic merchant bar producers have kept their official merchant bar prices stable on Turkish lira basis, with only minor changes on US dollar basis, against the backdrop of the ongoing currency fluctuations. In the Iskenderun region, one mill is offering its equal angles at TRY 19,900/mt ($584/mt) ex-works today, September 10.
Most merchant bar sellers are offering either for deliveries in October or from stocks. A few re-rollers are also offering their HEA/HEB (550-700 mm, standard) at TRY 26,500/mt ($778/mt) for delivery to the Karabuk region.
Most local buyers are not rushing to conclude new purchases and are monitoring the import scrap price trend.
