Also, prices of new arisings reached €202 per ton, falling by €19 per ton from the previous month.

The demand for scrap remained weak from the country’s domestic construction sector during the month of July so far, mainly on account of summer holidays. The weakening demand scenario may result in further decline in scrap prices in the upcoming months, trade participants noted.

The German scrap prices had decreased marginally during June this year. The prices of old scrap, shredded scrap and new arisings were €204 per ton, €231 per ton and €221 per ton during June ’15.
