Friday, 08 November 2024 17:45:58 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

With some Turkish mills dropping their domestic scrap purchase prices over the past week, the upper end of the general range has declined. Three producers have decreased their prices for the local benchmark DKP grade scrap by TRY 50-200/mt or $2-6/mt this week, while the others have kept their prices stable.

The general range in the local Turkish scrap market for the benchmark DKP grade scrap is now at TRY 11,800-13,150/mt in the local currency, down TRY 150/mt week on week on the upper end. The dollar-based prices have decreased by just $1/mt on the lower end and by $4/mt on the upper end to $343-383/mt amid the depreciation the Turkish lira against the US dollar.
