    Last week, Turkish scrap import prices fell for the first time since September 2020. CRU recorded two deals and assessed HMS 1/2 80:20 at $446 /t CFR (- $34 /t w/w, -$27 /t m/m). The enlarged spread between HMS 1/2 80:20 and shredded scrap prices remained at $11 /t—a level that has remained the same since the week ended Jan. 8.

Plate prices were mostly firmer across APAC, stable to down in Europe, and continued climbing in the US.
