    Turkish steel mills remained absent from the deep-sea scrap import market on Wednesday March 24, due to the slump in the value of the lira and weak steel demand, market participants told Fastmarkets.

    Total crude steel output across 64 major producer countries was 150.2 million tonnes in February 2021, down by 8% month on month but up by 4% from February 2020, the World Steel Association (Worldsteel) said on March 23.

    Base metals prices on the London Metal Exchange were mixed this morning, Wednesday March 24, while those on the Shanghai Futures Exchange were for the most part weaker, following Tuesday’s weakness on the LME.
