Correction to Montreal steel scrap assessments on July 8

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.

MB-STE-0793 Steel scrap cut structural/plate 5ft max, consumer buying price, fob Montreal, Canadian $/net ton was previously published at C$295 per ton, a C$10 per ton increase from June prices. It is now updated to C$285 per net ton, reflecting no change month to month.

Fastmarkets’ pricing database has been updated to reflect these changes.

These prices form part of Fastmarkets’ scrap package.
