Fastmarkets is proposing a realignment of its consumer buying prices for No1 busheling scrap in North Carolina and South Carolina respectively, effective from the January 2023 monthly settlement.

December 8, 2022

Ferrous scrap Pricing notice

Although Fastmarkets believes that its monthly trends for that grade in both regions has been correct, feedback received from the market indicates that prices for the grade do not reflect actual transaction prices.

As a result, Fastmarkets will hold a 30-day consultation period beginning Thursday December 8, during which it invites comments and input from the market. An updated notice will be published on Monday January 9. Any market adjustments to No1 busheling scrap in North Carolina and South Carolina will be made with the monthly pricing settlement in January.
The specifications for the affected scrap grades are as follows:

MB-STE-0281 Steel scrap No1 busheling, consumer buying price, delivered mill North Carolina/Virginia

Quality: Clean steel scrap, not exceeding 12 inches in any dimensions, including new factory busheling (for example, sheet clippings, stampings, etc.). May not include old auto body and fender stock.

Location: Delivered mill North Carolina/Virginia
