Market gains as news of second deep sea cargo breaks

London 26 January 2011 15:10

MB’s Ferrous Scrap Index cfr Turkey rose again on Wednesday, calculating at $499.16 on an HMS 1&2 (80:20 mix) basis on news of another deep sea cargo booking. 

Late on Tuesday a Turkish mill booked an EU-origin cargo comprising 10,000 tonnes of shredded material with maximum 0.25% Cu content at $505 per tonne cfr and 10,000 tonnes of special shredded material with maximum 0.12% Cu content at $515. 

An offer first quoted on Tuesday for 32,000 tonnes of EU-origin HMS 1&2 (70:30 mix) at $485 per tonne cfr still hasn’t attracted buyers, market participants said. 

“We haven’t even received a counter offer,” the recycler said.
