• Flats: Vietnam's Formosa Ha Tinh has reduced prices for its new domestic hot rolled coil allocations for October shipment by $15/tonne.
• Longs: The Singapore import market for rebar continues to see limited buying interest. 20,000t of Indian-origin theoretical-weight rebar was ordered in the 6 August week at $732-735/t cfr Singapore. 
• Semis: Billet suppliers are lowering export offers to Southeast Asia while the region continues to grapple with strict curbs imposed to rein in rising Covid-19 cases. 
• Raw Materials: Taiwanese scrap prices continued to fall last week. Weak local demand and price cuts by overseas suppliers undermined support for scrap prices.
