Japan's scrap export prices for H2 grade scrap through Tokyo Bay dipped again in the latest Kanto auction, with the top bid at Yen 48,113/tonne, destined for Bangladesh. Bidding activity slightly increased but total volume sought decreased by 5,000 tonnes compared to last month.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a softer pricing environment for scrap exports from Japan which narrows margin potential if you rely on these shipments. Consider targeting alternative export markets or diversifying scrap supplier sources to avoid tighter margins.
