Local Turkish scrap market remains stable

Friday, 25 June 2021 15:43:30 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

One Turkish mill has increased its domestic scrap purchase prices during the past week. The silence in the deep sea scrap market, which ended on June 24 with an ex-US transaction closed at $499/mt CFR for HMS I/II 80:20 scrap, has impacted the local market, resulting in most domestic mills to keep their prices. As a result, the general range in the local Turkish scrap market for the benchmark DKP grade scrap has remained stable in the range of TRY 3,820-4,415/mt, while the dollar-based quotations moved from $439-507/mt to $440-508/mt. The increase observed in the dollar equations is the result of Turkish lira gaining strength against the US dollar.
