The prices of sponge iron and locally sourced scrap are still low, ensuring imported scrap struggles to remain competitive. Demand for finished long products is still poor and, despite the potential for increased exports to Nepal after the recent earthquakes, the market remains pessimistic.

With talk of an increase in duties on imported steel once again flattering to deceive and the monsoon season fast approaching, market participants are struggling to see any meaningful positive demand or pricing movements until Q3 this year.
