Turkish deepsea import scrap prices remain firm

摘要

Turkish deepsea import ferrous scrap prices remained firm May 11, as suppliers maintained offers above $500/mt CFR, sources said. S&P Global Platts assessed Turkish imports of premium heavy melting scrap 1/2 (80:20) May 11 at $500/mt CFR, unchanged on day. The index remained at its highest level since Jan. 17, 2011, when it was at $504/mt CFR. The Platts index record high was at $510/mt CFR on Jan. 10, 2011. A Venezuela-origin cargo sale totaling 25,000 mt was heard after Platts' 4:30 pm London deadline, with a price equivalent to around $508-509/mt CFR Turkey for premium HMS 1/2 (80:20), highlighting firm demand from competing import scrap markets.
