China Stainless Steel Market Price Update – September 2, 2026

Market reference date: September 2, 2026. The following figures summarize publicly available Chinese stainless steel market indications. They are converted reference values rather than fixed SAKYSTEEL quotations.

Quotation basis: cold-rolled values are based on 1219 mm slit-edge material; hot-rolled values are based on 1500 mm mill-edge material. Other widths normally require an adjustment. The figures cover material only and exclude processing, lifting and handling, freight, packing, financing and other order-specific costs. Market conditions change; request the latest project quotation from our sales team.

Where several numerical quotations were shown for the same grade and thickness, the arithmetic mean was used after removing mill and origin information. Conversion basis: USD 1 = CNY 6.7829 on September 2, 2026. Values are rounded to the nearest US dollar per metric ton.
