China Stainless Steel Market Price Update – September 3, 2026

Market reference date: September 3, 2026. The following stainless steel prices are material-only market references, not fixed SAKYSTEEL sales quotations.

Quotation basis: cold-rolled prices are based on 1219 mm slit-edge material; hot-rolled prices are based on 1500 mm mill-edge material. Other widths require additional charges; contact our sales team for details. Rows explicitly marked mill edge retain that separate supply basis.

Excluded costs: processing, lifting and handling, freight, packaging, financing and all other order-specific charges are not included.

Market fluctuations: these prices are for reference only. The latest applicable price is subject to confirmation by our sales team.

Numerical references use the arithmetic average of the applicable quotations, converted at USD 1 = CNY 6.7807 (September 3, 2026 central parity rate), rounded to the nearest USD per metric ton. Separately labelled 1800–2000 mm hot-rolled width premiums are excluded from the 1500 mm reference. “Price on request” indicates no numerical price was listed; “Not quoted” indicates a blank or dash. No price has been estimated for these entries.
