South Asia: Imported scrap market shows mixed sentiments

South Asia’s imported scrap market sentiments continued to show variations. India remained active in booking containerised scrap. Meanwhile, Bangladeshi buyers turned quiet due to heavy rains. Additionally, the disparity between bids and offers resulted in limited bookings in Bangladesh.
