Market reference date: September 28, 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 6.712 on September 29, 2026. Where several numerical indications were visible for the same grade and thickness, their arithmetic average was calculated, an 8% commercial margin was applied, and the result was rounded to the nearest US dollar per metric tonne. Manufacturer and origin information have been removed.
Cost scope: Prices cover material only. They exclude processing, lifting and handling, 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.
