Local Turkish scrap prices decline as expected

Friday, 26 June 2026 17:56:11 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

Turkey’s local scrap market has followed the soft trend of import prices, while Turkish mills have maintained their cautious stance towards deep sea and short sea scrap offers and are monitoring their local scrap intake closely. Turkish mills have dropped their domestic scrap prices by TRY 200-500/mt or $3-14/mt since SteelOrbis’ previous report published on June 12. Local scrap prices are expected to remain under pressure in the coming days as the negative sentiment in the deep sea scrap market has not changed much.

The general range in the local Turkish scrap market for the benchmark DKP grade scrap has moved down from TRY 15,700-18,600/mt to TRY 15,400-18,600/mt. Due to the fluctuations observed in the exchange rate, the dollar-based quotations have softened from $339-402/mt to $330-399/mt.
