Most of the Izmir region-based ship scrap buyers in Turkey have again revised their purchasing prices and again upwards - by $1-5/mt. As a result, the local mills’ ship scrap purchase prices are now at $235-240/mt. According to sources, some improvement in sentiment in the import scrap segment is one of the reasons for local prices moving up.
