China Stainless Steel Market Price Update – September 9, 2026

Stainless Steel Market Reference — September 9, 2026

Cold-rolled prices are based on 1219 mm slit-edge material; hot-rolled prices are based on 1500 mm mill-edge material, except where a different edge condition is shown. Other widths require a surcharge; please contact our sales team for details.

Material price only. Prices exclude processing, lifting and unloading, handling, freight, packing, financing, duties, taxes and all other order-specific costs. Prices are indicative and subject to market fluctuations. The latest price is subject to the actual quotation confirmed by our sales team.

All numeric prices are in USD per metric tonne (USD/MT). POA means price on application. Each semicolon separates a listed thickness or range; it does not imply that every intermediate size is available. Equal-price entries are grouped for readability.
