Scrap
Ceramland Steel: In the Turkish scrap import market, the average price of heavy scrap improved by $20-80 to $10 last week to $374 per ton CFR, but the Turkish rebar market is still in recession.
Japanese Grade 2 heavy export scrap rose $7 to $282 per ton FOB. The average price of heavy import scrap in East Asia also fell $5 to $340 per ton CFR.

Weekly Analysis
World Market
ceramland Steel: Brent oil price has reached $70 and OPEC oil has reached less than $68. The outlook for oil prices is not bullish and the market is stable with excess supply. Iron ore has decreased by $3 to $7 depending on its grade and origin to $104. Given the market recession, there is a possibility of a decrease of up to $100. The price of ingots has dropped to $10. Given these conditions, there is no hope for an improvement in prices because consumption does not show any signs of increasing. The issue of the Ukraine war has brought Europe together, to the extent that there is talk of issuing bonds on behalf of the European common market, instead of each country acting separately. This trend can certainly unite Europe in parting with the United States and common policies in other areas, especially steel, which will intensify competition in other markets.
Domestic Market
ceramladn Steel: Two issues have caused the market to fear, which have severely held back demand
The first is Mr. Hemmati’s departure from the government, which has caused confusion in the market regarding the trend of the exchange rate, and Trump’s threats and his letter-sending have had a serious impact on this issue
The second issue is the bankruptcy of a steel complex, which there were rumors about two months ago, which is why the market has been holding back until the situation becomes clearer, but the general view is that prices will not rise next year due to increased supply, and the downward trend in prices cannot be very serious because costs have increased and the task of increasing wages is not clear. All analyses assume stability in political conditions and the exchange rate.
