Japan: Tokyo Steel raises scrap purchase prices at Okayama, Kyushu

Tokyo Steel revised its scrap purchase prices for the first time this month, effective 19 Feb’26, raising rates by JPY 500 ($3/t) at its Okayama and Kyushu plants while keeping those at other facilities unchanged. Price revisions at the Takamatsu plant remained suspended. The increase was supported by strong export demand, which tightened domestic scrap availability despite weak local steel production.
