European Scrap Tungsten Prices Rise, Indian Prices Fall Amid Varied Market Trends

Published: Jun 25, 2026 18:54
[SMM Scrap Tungsten Flash] SMM, June 25 – This week, the ex-China scrap tungsten market showed divergent trends. European scrap tungsten alloy blade prices were raised to €90-95/kg, up 5.71% WoW. According to traders, the scrap recycling systems of European tool enterprises continued to expand, and scrap demand and trading remained active. Indian scrap tungsten drill bit prices were lowered to $120-140/kg, down 3.7% WoW. Local scrap market demand activity was subdued. On the one hand, this was influenced by the slight quiet decline in Chinese prices; on the other hand, some downstream sodium tungstate enterprises in the scrap sector indicated that end-users in Europe and the US, having established their own recycling systems, had seen weaker demand for raw materials such as sodium tungstate.
