Global steel scrap prices surged in the week to Friday, May 7, and could break through the $500 per tonne cfr mark, starting in Asia, market sources told Fastmarkets.
This is due to continued demand for raw materials used in steelmaking and the current high prices for alternative iron ore feedstocks, they said.
