The inter-merchant spot market for light iron scrap in the UK was unmoved in the week ended Friday January 10, while there was an increase in business from Europe to traditional export markets in Turkey and the Indian subcontinent.

One domestic development this week that may influence the outcome of monthly price settlement negotiations was the news that UK steelmaker Liberty Steel plans to cut more than 350 jobs in response to the "challenging market conditions."
