China Stainless Steel Market Price Update – October 15, 2026

Market reference date: October 15, 2026.

The tables below summarize material-only reference levels converted from publicly visible China-market indications. 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 separate confirmation.

Conversion basis: USD 1 = CNY 6.6908 on October 16, 2026. For each visible numerical range, the arithmetic average was calculated, an 8% commercial margin was applied, and the result was rounded to the nearest US dollar per metric tonne. Items without a verifiable numerical quotation are marked POA. Manufacturer, origin and promotional information have been removed.

Cost scope: Prices cover material only. They exclude processing, lifting, loading and unloading, freight, packing, financing charges, taxes and all other order-specific costs. Market conditions can change quickly; the final price is subject to actual sales confirmation.
