Local Turkish scrap market falls sharply, all mills cut their prices

Friday, 24 June 2022 15:27:44 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

Over the past week, all Turkish mills have reduced their domestic scrap procurement prices. The total of downward revision has reached TRY 300-1,250/mt or $18-74/mt. The depreciation of the Turkish lira has not helped the fall in dollar-based quotations either. Since Turkey’s finished steel sales are failing to improve, the pressure on raw material prices has increased, resulting in another fall in domestic scrap prices.

As a result, the general range in the local Turkish scrap market for the benchmark DKP grade scrap have decreased from the range of TRY 6,500-7,950/mt ($376-459/mt) to TRY 5,700-6,850/mt ($328-394/mt).
