Delay to US September ferrous scrap settlements

Fastmarkets advises that, as of Monday September 11, its assessments of monthly regional ferrous scrap markets have not settled.

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, Alabama
• Ferrous scrap domestic consumer buying prices, Arkansas
• Ferrous scrap domestic consumer buying prices, Cincinnati
• Ferrous scrap domestic consumer buying prices, Houston
• Ferrous scrap domestic consumer buying prices, North Carolina

• Ferrous scrap domestic dealer selling prices, Atlanta
• Ferrous scrap domestic dealer selling prices, St Louis
• Ferrous scrap domestic consumer buying prices, Hamilton, Ontario

The delay in settling these markets comes amid the late breaking of September’s ferrous trade following the Labor Day holiday on September 4 in the United States. Negotiations continue, and Fastmarkets will ensure the outstanding markets are settled as soon as the requisite information is made available.
