Imported HRC Offers to Vietnam Slide Further Over Limited Buying
In the beginning of this week imported HRC offers to Vietnam reported decline as buyers are expecting further downside in prices over volatility in Chinese prices and lower export offers from India amid weakening domestic prices.
Meanwhile lower bids from end users in Vietnam have pushed other exporting nations like Japan and Korea to pull down their offers as buying remained mute on increased prices.
A trader based in Vietnam shared ,”It is difficult to sell material in Vietnam today as buyers have adopted wait and watch mode”.
On weekly basis imported HRC offers lowered by USD 5-10/MT and have witness continual decline since mid of Jul’19.
