Turkish mills continue to increase domestic scrap purchase prices

Friday, 21 July 2023 17:17:13 (GMT+3)   |   Istanbul

Over the past two weeks, most Turkish mills have increased their domestic scrap procurement prices once again. Most Turkish producers have announced upward revisions in the range of TRY 100-500/mt. Despite the upward revision on Turkish lira basis, dollar-based prices have changed in a wide range from down $7/mt to up $10/mt. The dollar-based prices of the mills that kept their lira prices stable have moved down by $6-12/mt. Meanwhile, two mills have reduced their domestic scrap prices in this two-week period by TRY 50-250/mt or $12-20/mt. 

The general range in the local Turkish scrap market for the benchmark DKP grade scrap is currently at TRY 7,900-9,950/mt ($293-367/mt), from 7,900-9,750/mt ($303-374/mt).
