Flat Ferrous Scrap Price in Tokyo

Ferrous scrap price is flat at 25,100 yen per tonne for pressed new cutting scrap and 24,100 yen for new cutting grade without press at dealers’ purchase price including freight around Tokyo. The price is expected to keep the level with firm demand. The scrap export shipping was slow from Tokyo bay. With the slower export, the dealers ship to local electric furnace steel makers.
