Rebar

Regional spot rebar prices in Istanbul, Izmir, Karabük, and Payas remained unchanged from the previous assessment. Trading activity continued to be limited due to weak demand, allowing spot prices to hold at current levels.

İçdaş increased its rebar offers by TRY 89.70/mt at both its Istanbul and Biga plants. Meanwhile, Kardemir continued to keep its rebar sales closed.

Billet

Imported billet prices declined by USD 5/mt to USD 495/mt CFR Türkiye. Weak domestic demand and competitive offers in the international market continued to weigh on prices.

Kardemir maintained its official billet base prices at USD 515/mt for S235JR grade and USD 520/mt for S420/B420 grade, while billet sales remained closed.

Market overview

As of July 13, weak demand continued to dominate the Turkish long steel market. While spot rebar prices remained stable, the USD 10/mt reduction in average Marmara producer offers reflected ongoing pressure on domestic mills. The decline in imported billet prices to USD 495/mt CFR Türkiye further confirmed the weak sentiment in the semi-finished steel market. The wire rod segment remained broadly stable, whereas limited price reductions in structural steel products highlighted the cautious market environment.
