Domestic prices for hot-rolled and cold-rolled coil remained stable in Turkey during the week ended Friday July 3, with demand weak, sources have told Fastmarkets.
Flat steel producers in the country were accepting orders for September.
The reason for the poor demand was that buyers had already booked enough material for July and August, and wanted to wait and see if end-user consumption would increase before placing orders for September.
