TURKEY STEEL BILLET: Falling long steel values push down prices

Turkish steel billet prices have gone down over the past week due to falling long steel values and limited demand, market sources said on Thursday June 24.

Turkish rebar and wire rod export prices have also been falling this week, which helped to drive the fall in values.
The steelmakers in Turkey lowered their billet offers for domestic buyers to $675-685 per tonne ex-works from last week's $685-700 per tonne levels.
