Market participants indicated that buying interest is still limited, suggesting that prices could gradually soften if demand fails to improve.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the IF-EAF wire rod market strengthened during the week. Supply constraints, primarily caused by reduced material availability and disrupted shipments from India, tightened spot availability in Nepal. As a result, wire rod prices improved to around $510\/t CNF Raxaul, with suppliers maintaining firm offers amid limited inventories.<\/p>\n<p>Going forward, the Nepal long steel market is expected to remain mixed.
