After yesterday’s revisions, two out of four Turkish mills based in the Izmir region have again decreased their purchase prices for ship scrap, this time by $3/mt. Currently, the purchase price levels in the region are at $282-287/mt CPT depending on the mill, SteelOrbis has learned. The key reason for the price reduction is the negative sentiment in the import scrap market, sources report.
