Consumers to be able to start cutting prices only in September

摘要

In July, Ukrainian steel mills significantly raised scrap bids for fear of a drop in supply. By the middle of the month, official purchase prices had gone up by 9%. In some cases, the final cost is discussed with suppliers individually. Mills' prices are still under pressure from the traders' segment. Specifically, information about mills potentially raising prices is spreading more widely, while quotes at scrap yards increase further.
