Kansai Ferrous Scrap Market Is Flat, Staying on The Sidelines

摘要

The ferrous scrap market in the Kansai area in the 2nd week of January, or the week from January 13 keeps flat, staying on the sidelines. After the New Year, some electric steelmakers in the Osaka area restrict to accept ferrous scrap. Himeji Works of Godo Steel reduced official purchase prices of some items from January 15 in the Himeji area. The supply and demand balance in the area this week after the 3 straight holidays was generally stable, and the market did not change drastically.
