European Tungsten Prices Rise as Supply Tightens Ahead of Easter Holidays

[SMM Tungsten Express] APT CIF Rotterdam prices held steady at $2,800-3,200/mt this week, with market sentiment divided. Demand gaps supported continued raises in high-end offers, but influenced by sharp price declines in the Chinese market, European and American buyers generally adopted a wait-and-see approach, with overall transactions hindered. Ferrotungsten and scrap prices continued to decline. Ferrotungsten Rotterdam warehouse was quoted at $280-295/kg W, down $12.5 WoW; European scrap tungsten carbide inserts were quoted at €100-110/kg, down €5 WoW.
