[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Rising Molybdenum Costs Widen Spread, Indonesian Mill’s 304 and 316L Gap Reaches $1,850/mt
On April 17, SMM reported that a major Indonesian stainless steel mill increased the price gap between 304 and 316L series from $1,800/mt to $1,850/mt. The widening spread is driven by the soaring price of molybdenum, a key element in 316L. Research indicates that molybdenum concentrate supply remains tight due to aging mining equipment, environmental production curbs, and export restrictions in major producing countries. Simultaneously, surging demand from aerospace and defense industries has further pushed up molybdenum product prices. Additionally, Indonesia's new nickel pricing formula and geopolitical risks have collectively raised the overall cost benchmark for the 300-series.
