尽管政治和经济存在不确定性，但在上周达成多宗交易后，土耳其钢厂本周又购买了更多废钢货物。
Turkish mills have purchased further scrap cargoes thisweek, following numerous deals last week, despite political and economicuncertainty.
冠状病毒疫情快速传播、政治紧张局势和里拉快速贬值，使土耳其钢厂难以认清市场情况。因此，土耳其钢厂继续询购废钢并完成采购，但希望避免价格进一步上涨。
The fast-spreading coronavirus, political tensions andrapid depreciation of the lira are preventing Turkish mills from having a clearpicture of the market. As a result, Turkish mills continue inquiring aboutscrap and concluding purchases but want to avoid any further price increases.
土耳其钢厂现已完成

Turkish mills have now completed November-shipment scrappurchases. While some market participants think mills will take a break beforestarting to buy December-shipment cargoes, as stocks are sufficient anduncertainty prevails, others believe they will continue their purchases.

一位波罗的海产地的废钢供应商预计，本周废钢需求将更加强劲。他告诉

A Baltic-origin scrap supplier, who expects to seestronger scrap demand this week, tells
Kallanish
: “This week’sworkable price is $293-297/t cfr for HMS 80:20 for me. But, as of nextweek, we may see prices at above $300/t cfr.”
另一位供应商说：“土耳其钢厂不会停止
12
月船期货物的采购，因为他们今年的成品钢材销售已全部完成。即使是
1
月份，他们也只提供下半月的材料。我认为他们的销售情况并没有他们所抱怨的那么糟糕。”
Another supplier says: “Turkish mills will not haltDecember-shipment purchases because they have all completed finished steelsales this year. Even for January, they are offering material for second-halfonly. I think their sales are not as bad as they bemoan.”
一位美国供应商补充说：“
12
月是一个关键的月份，是节日季节。他们不能像
10
月份那样把
12
月船期的货物留到最后一刻。而且我认为，钢厂知道，如果他们现在停止采购，他们重返市场时将面临更高的价格。我想，本周会达成更多交易。”
A US supplier adds: “December is a critical month,holiday season. They cannot leave December-shipment cargoes to the last minuteas they did in October. And I think mills know that if they stop now, theywill face even higher prices on their return. I think we will hear morebookings this week.”
然而，一位欧洲废钢代理商表示：“在通常情况下，他们应该不会停止采购，但当前的情况非常不寻常。每天我们都会在新的灾难中醒来。无法预测明天在疫情、政治和经济方面会发生什么状况。”
A European scrap agent, however, says: “Under usualconditions they should not take a break, but we are going through very unusualdays. Every day we wake up to a new disaster. It is impossible to predict what tomorrowwill bring in terms of virus, politics and economics.”
尽管国内需求停滞不前，但由于本周土耳其货币迅速贬值，土耳其国内螺纹钢价格按里拉计算已达到历史最高水平。本周全球市场的需求也开局缓慢。由于周三将迎来
1.5
天的国定假期，土耳其钢厂对本周的成品钢材销售预期不高。不过，他们预计废钢价格将在一段时间内保持坚挺。
Despite stagnant domestic demand, Turkish domestic rebarprices have reached record-high levels on a lira basis, due to the very fastdepreciation of the domestic currency this week. Demand has also had a slowstart to the week in global markets. Turkish mills are not expecting much fromthis week in terms of finished steel sales due to 1.5-day national holidaystarting on Wednesday. However, they are expecting scrap prices to remain firmfor some time.
