Billet prices react to shifting demand in Türkiye, Russia, and Ukraine

The Russian billet market is experiencing significant changes in pricing dynamics. These changes are putting downward pressure on billet prices in the region.

Billet prices react to shifting demand in Türkiye, Russia, and Ukraine

In Türkiye's import market, the situation has taken a downturn, leading to a discernible decline in prices for billets. Turkish buyers have set a target level, expressing their preference for prices ranging between $520-525/t CFR. When factoring in freight costs, this translates to approximately $495-500/t FOB at Black Sea ports in the Russian Federation.

Meanwhile, demand for Russian billets from importers in Egypt has softened, contributing to a reduction in prices. Requests for billets from Russia have dropped to $540/t CFR, down from $560/t CFR reported just a week earlier.

Similarly, Ukrainian exporters have adjusted their pricing strategies in response to market conditions. Export offers for Ukrainian billets in ports such as Rena/Izmail have seen a notable decrease, sliding from $530-540/t FOB to a range of $515-530/t FOB.
