Sources close to SteelOrbis have confirmed that HMS scrap in the Ohio Valley settled by up $20/gt this month. This is similar to what's been seen in the Southeast, where HMS and P&S scrap (and turnings) all settled up by $20/gt. Other grades, however, held sideways. Sources have also said that HMS scrap was in “shorter supply” this month, which contributed to the uptrend.
