Turkish Rebar - Daily Rationale

S&P Global Platts assessed Turkish exported rebar at $442.50/mt FOB Turkey on Aug. 13, down 50 cents from Aug. 12.


A Turkish rebar exporter cited an offer at $445/mt FOB Marmara. He put a tradable value at $443/mt FOB, for 10,000 mt. A Turkish trading source reported offers at minimum $445/mt FOB and tradable values at $443/mt FOB. Two trading sources put a tradable value for 10,000 mt at $440/mt FOB. Other two sources said that the workable price level for 10,000 mt was $445/mt FOB on the day. Another trader said that Turkish mills were quoting $450/mt FOB for rebar with negotiable price level at $440/mt FOB Turkey for quantities minimum 10,000 mt. Lower quantities were tradable at $445/mt FOB, he added.

No data was excluded from the assessment.

The above rationale applies to the Platts daily Turkish rebar assessment, with the associated market data code: STCBM00

What is the Turkish Rebar Export Price?

It reflects the spot price for sales of rebar in Turkey.

It specifies that the rebar is of Turkish origin and in bulk quantity. Containerized sales are considered as market movement indications but are not factored into assessment.
