ANKARA (Scrap Register): Turkish HMS 1/2 80:20 scrap import average prices (CFR Iskenderun Port, Turkey) advanced further by $6 a ton week-on-week to $288 a ton during last week, as per the latest figures from the Steel Index.

Turkish mills continue to have a healthy appetite for scrap which, alongside continued relatively tight supply, has led to the week’s rises.

It can be argued that the price crash seen at the start of this year affected the supply chain significantly enough for the effects to still be felt.

Although buying levels continue to remain strong the prospect of Chinese billet arriving in July alongside the slowdown associated with Ramadan may mean the appetite for scrap begins to fade.

SHFE Copper Broke Below the 100,000 Mark Again, and Downstream Purchase Sentiment Cooled

Intraday, the SHFE copper 2603 contract fell below the 100,000-yuan mark for the second time after trading began. According to SMM, spot market activity today pulled back from March 9, when the contract first fell below 100,000 yuan, with overall trading sentiment remaining subdued on both buying and selling sides. On March 16, 2026, SMM's sentiment index for procurement in the Shanghai spot market was 2.53, while the sales sentiment index was 2.63, both down 0.29 from March 9. Historical data is available in the database. According to SMM, when copper prices fell below 100,000 yuan on March 9, some enterprises had restocking demand, which briefly boosted spot trade and brought it to a post-Chinese New Year trading high. But based on market feedback today, the contract rollover in futures may have had an impact. With copper prices again trading below the 100,000-yuan threshold, downstream enterprises showed signs of weaker acceptance.
