New sales have been reported in the Turkish scrap import market. A Dutch supplier sold a cargo to the Mediterranean region at USD 339/ton CFR Türkiye. The same mill is believed to have purchased 2–3 additional cargoes from Europe and the UK at similar price levels late last week.
On the buyers’ side, a mill in the Marmara region is reportedly still negotiating for a September shipment, while some other producers are expected to book cargoes for October shipments toward the end of this week. However, market sources note that demand volume still lags behind the number of cargoes being offered.
