Correction to Phila random rails scrap price

Fastmarkets has corrected its consumer buying price for steel scrap random rails, delivered mill Philadelphia, following an input error during the monthly domestic ferrous scrap trade in December 2021

The price for random rails, which was published as $550 per gross ton on December 6, was corrected to $450 per gross ton on Thursday February 17. This change reflects a sideways move in this price for December compared with November.

The assessments for January – when the price for random rails in Philadelphia fell by $45 per gross ton from December – and for February – when the price held steady month on month – therefore have both been corrected to $405 per gross ton from $505 per ton previously as of February 17.

The specification of the affected price is as follows:

MB-STE-0301

Pricing point: Delivered mill price
