美国废钢2月份交易价格走高

US scrap to finalise February settlement higher

Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）获悉，美国国内废钢市场2月份的交易尚未完全结束，俄亥俄河谷的卖家仍在试图推动价格上涨。

US domestic scrap market February trading has not yet fully settled, with Ohio Valley sellers still trying to push for higher prices, Kallanish notes.

一周前，一家大钢厂以比1月份高出30美元/总吨的出价开始碎废钢交易。不过，俄亥俄河谷的卖家仍希望价格能上涨50美元/总吨或更多。

Trading kicked off a week ago with a major mill’s bid at $30/gross ton higher for shredded scrap versus January values. However, Ohio Valley sellers are still aiming for increases of $50/gt and more.

上周，在迅速变化的关税声明中，美国国内市场情绪波动很大。尽管在美国最初宣布加征关税后，市场预期高达70美元/总吨，但在对加拿大和墨西哥推迟加征关税后，市场预期有所降温。

The mood in the US domestic market was very volatile last week amid the rapidly changing tariff announcements. Although market expectations went as high as for a $70/gt hike after the initial US tariff announcements, they later cooled after Canada and Mexico tariff imposition was delayed.

周五，美国钢厂以从巴西购买大量生铁为由，向尚未出售的废钢供应商施压。尽管如此，已经达成大量交易，碎废钢和边角废钢的价格环比高出40美元/总吨，剪切废钢高出30美元/总吨。

Citing large quantities of pig iron purchases from Brazil, US mills piled pressure on Friday on those scrap suppliers that have not yet sold. This was despite numerous bookings done at $40/gt higher on-month for shredded and busheling, and $30/gt for cut grades.

2月份的交易预计将在本周最初几天完成。

February settlements are expected to be finalised in the initial days of the current week.

美国西海岸业务方面，美国原产集装箱装运的HMS 1&2 80:20报价上涨至310美元/吨cfr中国台湾后，台湾钢铁制造商丰兴钢铁股份有限公司周一将其废钢采购价提高300新台币/吨（9美元）。在上周以约305美元/吨cfr的价格成交后，由于美国可能征收关税的不确定性，周一买家仍保持谨慎。

For US West Coast business, Taiwanese steelmaker Feng Hsin lifted its scrap purchase price by TWD 300/tonne ($9) on Monday after US-origin containerised HMS 1&2 80:20 offers edged up to $310/t cfr Taiwan. After the deals at around $305/t cfr last week, buyers remained cautious on Monday, uncertain over potential US tariffs.

在东海岸，市场活动在上周末有所降温，周一依然冷清。周一，由于关税不确定性、中国期货下跌和螺纹钢报价下跌，土耳其钢厂停止废钢采购。上周末，美国原产HMS 1&2 80:20的报价高于362美元/吨cfr土耳其，但被土耳其生产商拒绝，他们的目标价格是356-357美元/吨cfr。

On the East Coast, market activity, which cooled towards the end of last week, remained lacklustre on Monday. Turkish mills halted scrap purchases amid tariff uncertainties, falling Chinese futures and lower rebar quotes on Monday. Towards the end of last week, offers at above $362/t cfr Turkey for US-origin HMS 1&2 80:20 were rejected by Turkish producers who were aiming to buy at $356-357/t cfr.
