Wednesday, 18 March 2020 17:08:42 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

It is observed that most steel mills in Turkey have kept their scrap purchase prices stable today, March 18, while a few of them have cut their prices.

As the Turkish lira has appreciated slightly against the US dollar, teh dollar-based domestic scrap purchase prices of the mills that have kept their prices stable today have increased by $1/mt. The prices of other mills in the local currency have moved down by TRY 15-60/mt today depending on the producer as compared to yesterday, while their dollar-based prices have fallen by $1-8/mt on the same day.
