在上周拉开序幕后，美国废钢交易预计将在本周前半段稳定下来，但供应商抵制降低价格。

After kicking off last week, US scrap trading is expected to settle during the first half of the current week, but suppliers are seen resisting lowering prices.

上周末前，一家美国生产商对剪切和边角废钢的出价分别为30美元/总吨和70美元/总吨的折扣。然而，供应商抵制这些折扣，特别是优质废钢70美元/总吨的折扣。

Towards the end of last week, a US producer gave a bid for cut grades and busheling at a $30/gross ton and $70/t discount respectively. However, suppliers are seen resisting these discounts, specifically the $70/gt discount on prime grades.

一位废钢供应商说：“这意味着急剧下降，并使一些地区的边角废钢价格低于碎废钢价格。”

“This is a sharp decrease and carries busheling prices below shredded in some regions,” says a scrap supplier.

大多数市场参与者预计美国价格将在2-3天内落定，预计剪切和碎废钢将比7月份的价格下降20-30美元/吨，优质废钢下降50-70美元/吨。

Most market participants expect US prices to settle within 2-3 days, with cut grades and shredded expected to fall by $20-30/gt and prime grades by $50-70/gt from July prices.

在西海岸，对原产于美国的HMS 1&2 80:20集装箱废钢的购买兴趣仍然很弱。在与美国废钢的价差缩小到几乎为零后，日本废钢吸引了更多的关注。虽然买家对美国材料的价格意向不超过320-325美元/吨cfr台湾，但在上周土耳其价格反弹和日元升值后，美国供应商的目标水平更高，在335美元/吨cfr以上。

On the West Coast, buying interest for US-origin containerised HMS 1&2 80:20 remains weak. Japanese scrap is attracting more attention after its spread to US prices narrowed to almost zero. While buyers’ price ideas for US material do not exceed $320-325/tonne cfr Taiwan, US suppliers are seen targeting higher levels, at above $335/t cfr, following the rebound in Turkey last week and yen appreciation.

在东海岸，尽管美国国内市场下降，美国供应商正提高在土耳其的价格目标。市场上的报价很少，美国供应商对HMS 1&2 80:20废钢的目标价格高于400美元/吨cfr土耳其。周一，有传言说美国原产的HMS 1&2 80:20废钢在上周以388美元/吨cfr的价格成交。然而，卖家否认了这一说法。

On the East Coast, US suppliers are increasing their price targets in Turkey despite the decline in the US domestic market. Offers in the market are scarce, and US suppliers are seen targeting to sell HMS 1&2 80:20 at above $400/t cfr Turkey. On Monday, there were rumours of a US-origin HMS 1&2 80:20 sale at $388/t cfr being done last week. This is, however, denied by the seller.
