Some of Turkey’s Izmir region-based steel producers have revised their ship scrap purchase prices upwards compared to last week’s levels, increasing them by $3/mt. In the meantime, other buyers prefer to keep their purchase prices for the raw material stable for now. According to market sources, steel producers in the region are trying to shape new purchase price policies that will also allow them procure their scrap needs.
