Quieter Turkish import scrap market still shows strength

摘要

Import prices for ferrous scrap into Turkey ticked up a touch Friday as market players continued to expect higher prices amid limited trading activity. S&P Global Platts assessed Turkish imports of premium heavy melting scrap 1/2 (80:20) at $323/mt CFR Friday, up $1/mt from Thursday. While no fresh deal was received, the majority of market players saw further upside to prices for the next few deals, boosted by the high volume of Turkish billet exports this week at above 100,000 mt.
