Over the past week, Turkish mills have kept their offical wire rod prices stable in the Marmara and Thrace regions, while wire rod prices in the Iskenderun and Izmir regions have fallen by $20-30/mt amid the ongoing currency fluctuations and sluggish demand. Additional discounts are applicable for serious buyers.

An Iskenderun-based mill has cut its official wire rod price by $10/mt to $620/mt ex-works, compared to Friday, December 22.

Kardemir has issued its price for 6-27 mm SAE 1008-1010 wire rod at $635/mt ex-works today, December 27, stable compared to last week.
