Major reduction in local Turkish scrap market

Friday, 13 May 2022 17:37:23 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

Over the past week, Turkish mills’ local scrap procurement prices have decreased sharply in line with the collapse observed in the deep sea scrap segment. Turkish mills have reduced their prices by TRY 400-2,000/mt or $27-134/mt.  As a result, the general range in the local Turkish scrap market for the benchmark DKP grade scrap has decreased from TRY 7,400-8,600/mt to TRY 6,000-8,010/mt, while prices on US dollar basis have been revised from $495-575/mt to $401-536/mt.
