Prices stayed mostly stable, while limited supply and firm seller sentiment offered support despite thin trading activity.<\/p>\n<p>India:\u00a0Imported scrap demand in India remained subdued, with buyers showing limited interest in fresh bookings amid weak steel demand and margin pressure. UK-origin HMS failed to attract buyers as the impurity levels were reported to be higher than contractual commitments, discouraging mills from proceeding despite availability.<\/p>\n<p>Supplier activity also thinned due to Christmas and year-end holidays, further reducing trade momentum. Indicative prices were heard at CFR Nhava Sheva\/Chennai levels of $34-350\/t for EU-origin shredded and $316-320\/t for HMS 80:20, while Australian-origin shredded was assessed at $336-342\/t, HMS 90:10 at $325-330\/t, HMS 80:20 at $315-320\/t, and PNS at $330-340\/t, largely unchanged amid muted market participation.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan:\u00a0Pakistans imported scrap market remained subdued, with limited buying interest despite a slight uptick in offers. Europe\/UK-origin shredded scrap was offered at $354-359\/t CFR Qasim but no sound from buyer, while local buyers stayed largely silent due to year-end slowdowns, though a few small bookings were reported.<\/p>\n<p>Bangladesh:\u00a0Bangladesh&#8217;s imported scrap market stayed quiet on a day-on-day basis, with no meaningful change in activity levels. Hong Kong-origin oversized PNS was heard at $363\/t CFR, Hong Kong shredded at $353\/t CFR, and Australian shredded at $350\/t CFR, reflecting steady price indications rather than active trading.<\/p>\n<p>Turkiye:\u00a0Deep-sea imported scrap prices stable d-o-d after a US-origin deal was concluded, reflecting firm seller sentiment amid seasonal supply tightness. Limited availability from major exporters supported higher price levels, allowing sellers to successfully defend offers close to $370\/t CFR.<\/p>\n<p>However, buying interest remained cautious as weak downstream steel demand continued to pressure mill margins. Despite this, US suppliers resisted offers below $370\/t CFR, limiting downside movement and keeping prices supported even as buyers showed reluctance to chase higher levels.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-51580\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T120943.389.jpg?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T120943.389.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T120943.389.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T120943.389.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T120943.389.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkiye prices held steady supported by firm seller resistance Pakistan and Bangladesh markets stayed quiet&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51581,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[313],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-51579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iron-steel"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1766470312",1280,720,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1?v=1766470312",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?fit=300%2C169&ssl=1?v=1766470312",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1?v=1766470312",640,360,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1?v=1766470312",640,360,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1766470312",1280,720,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1?v=1766470312",1280,720,true],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?resize=1115%2C715&ssl=1?v=1766470312",1115,715,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?resize=800%2C500&ssl=1?v=1766470312",800,500,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&ssl=1?v=1766470312",1024,576,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?resize=540%2C340&ssl=1?v=1766470312",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Untitled-design-2025-12-23T121119.943.jpg?resize=400%2C250&ssl=1?v=1766470312",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Biz Trend 24","author_link":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/author\/online24"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?cat=313&#038;lang=en\" rel=\"category\">Iron &amp;
