Fastmarkets has revised its MB-STE-0789 steel scrap No1 heavy melting, consumer buying price, fob Montreal and MB-STE-0793 steel scrap cut structural/plate 5ft max, consumer buying price, fob Montreal for July 8.

Information came to light that mill buying offers had been adjusted for July following Fastmarkets’ settlement of these prices on that date, leading to an incorrect published assessment for the following grades:

MB-STE-0789 Steel scrap No1 heavy melting, consumer buying price, fob Montreal, Canadian $/net ton was previously published at C$245 ($179.41) per net ton, a C$10 per ton increase from June prices. It is now updated to C$235 per ton, reflecting no change month to month.
