Week of 8/16/10 Hello All……..Really not too much to report this week on the market front. Fibers have held steady into and through August though I am seeing OCC and mixed paper up about $5 per ton in “real world” pricing. Renewed export interest looked (and looks) promising but I was interested to learn last week that the recent increases in export pricing have been derived from decreases in shipping charges overseas rather than an increase in demand in China. So while the pricing increases are a good thing for us suppliers, it’s not because of renewed demand signaling a recovery. I guess just look at the general economy and you can tell we’re not quite there yet. Plastics pricing remains remain where it began the month, thankfully stopping any further slides. Baseline prices
for mixed commodity loads remain…. Of course…straight and heavier loads will net you more $$$. Scrap Metal jumped again this week hitting $190/gross ton in containers or delivered to the various Schnitzer yards
around the state. Picked up pricing by Schnitzer zones is… Call for more options…. And Tin and Aluminum Cans have inched up in recent weeks as well. For reference, and you all who keep track, NRRA/Schnitzer delivered pricing for these commodities is… So like I said, a light news week for the markets. Give a holler with your weekend exploits and let’s liven it up here! After all, Mike is out this week! ;-) Adam! You aren't done yet!
