Turkish scrap prices showed little change week over week (w/w), with HMS 80:20 and shredded grades assessed at $343 per metric ton (mt) and $357/mt, respectively.
Turkish scrap prices remained steady during the third week of 2025, with HMS 80:20 unchanged at $343/mt, while Shredded grades fell edged lower $5/mt to $357/mt based on confirmed shipments.
In the short term, scrap supply may tighten due to logistical challenges or other supply chain disruptions. Finished steel prices fell by $5/mt w/w due to weak demand and, as a result, scrap demand remains sluggish.
