Bangladesh: Medium Scale Mills Lower Rebar Offers

Medium scale re-rollers in Bangladesh have slightly reduced their rebar offers by BDT 500/MT (USD 6) against last week. The offers have come down on account of weak trade volumes due to liquidity crunch, as stated by participants to SteelMint.

However, the large scale mills have kept their rebar offers firm, supported by reduced production by around 30-50%. This in turn maintained inventories with the producers.

Further, the sources in Chittagong who majorly deal with large scale mills cited, poor demand have resulted mills to cut down production by 30-40% and reported sufficient inventory level at their premises.
