Local Turkish scrap market mostly sees downward revisions

Wednesday, 26 May 2021 16:54:16 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

Since SteelOrbis’ report published on May 20, most Turkish mills have decreased their local scrap purchase prices by TRY 30-160/mt or $5-20/mt. Two producers’ prices have increased in this period by TRY 320-470/mt or $37-55/mt, and some other mills have kept their local currency prices unchanged with a $1/mt decrease in their dollar prices. As a result, the general range in the local Turkish scrap market for the benchmark DKP grade scrap has moved up on the lower end from TRY 3,400-4,530 to TRY 3,680-4,530/mt, while the dollar-based quotations have moved from $406-541/mt to $439-540/mt.
