Volumes booked by Turkish mills were strong, with pricing relatively stable in the range of $230-235 a ton depending on the supplier and delivery promptness. 

Scrap appears to have now gained a footing in the market, following the last couple of months which saw mills take a strong preference to imported billets. 

The market appears stable for now, but a weak US domestic buy week could prompt US yards to lower their offers again.
