Local Turkish scrap market moves down

Monday, 22 June 2020 15:34:44 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

SteelOrbis has observed that as of today, June 22, the local Turkish scrap market is moving down with several mill announcing a cut of TRY 15-60/mt in their purchase prices as compared to Friday, June 19, resulting in a $2-9/mt decrease in their dollar-based quotations. Meanwhile, with the exchange rate remaining almost stable, the dollar-based purchase prices of the other mills that decided to keep their lira-based quotations unchanged have moved sideways.

As a result, benchmark DKP grade scrap prices in Turkey are now at TRY 1,675-2,075/mt or $244-302/mt. Market sources confirm that a lack of supply continues to be seen in the local Turkish scrap market and that the market is slowing down in terms of purchasing activity.
