A few cargoes were booked this week in the region of $233-234 a ton, indicating that the upward momentum seen in recent weeks has been reversed.
Participants were bearish for the most part, with large orders of billet by Turkish mills doing the rounds on the rumour mill.
With billet prices dropping significantly in the wake of the movements in the Yuan, scrap is also likely to come under further downward pressure.
