One Turkish mill cuts local scrap prices, dollar-based prices mostly up

Friday, 21 January 2022 14:41:34 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

Since SteelOrbis’ report published on January 18, the Turkish lira has gained some strength against the major currencies, causing dollar-based domestic scrap procurement prices to move up. It is observed that one mill has reduced its domestic scrap quotations by TRY 250/mt or $14/mt. However, other producers have kept their prices in the local currency stable, with a $4-6/mt increase in their dollar prices.

The general range in the local Turkish scrap market for the benchmark DKP grade scrap has remained at TRY 5,900-7,150/mt, while prices on US dollar basis have been revised from $436-528/mt to $440-534/mt.
