Delay to November ferrous scrap settlements

Fastmarkets advises that, as of Monday November 11, certain monthly North American ferrous scrap assessments are yet to settle.

Fastmarkets typically settles these markets on or before the 10th of the month.

The markets not settled by Monday include:

• Ferrous scrap domestic consumer buying prices, Cincinnati 

The delay in assessing these markets comes amid late settlements in multiple regions across North America. Negotiations continue, and Fastmarkets will ensure the outstanding markets are settled as soon as the requisite information is made available.
