Steel scrap prices

Is anyone watching the price of steel scrap? The Rotterdam f.o.b. export price of HMS1 heavy steel scrap was under US $200 / metric tonne in March 2009. Today, barely six months later, the price is around US $325 per tonne. You can track the latest scrap prices at http://www.steelonthenet.com/commodity_prices.html.
