India: Melting scrap prices edge up on supply shortage

Melting scrap prices remained supported except a few locations on 2 Aug’21. Prices rose by up to INR 700/t, especially in Hyderabad, owing to inadequate supplies in the local market and healthy transactions reported to Maharashtra. Furthermore, sponge iron and semi-finished steel prices remained supported today. Other regions too witnessed nominal upside in prices, except Gujarat. The near-term outlook is positive, particularly for the northern region, trader sources informed.
