[Brazil] Major-customer bankruptcy triggers spot liquidation; Brazilian HDG prices under pressure This week domestic hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel prices in Brazil came under downward pressure.

Hot-rolled coil ex-works prices stabilized at 750-760USD/tonne EXW, as high interest rates and tight credit conditions continued to suppress downstream purchasing sentiment. In the slab market, mills prioritized internal consumption for September shipments, keeping export offers steady at 580-585 USD/tonne FOB.
