Turkey's Ministry of Commerce has initiated a sunset review of anti-dumping measures on stainless steel pipes and hollow sections imported from Vietnam, following an application by domestic producers, according to the country's Official Gazette. The review will determine whether revoking existing duties would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping. Current AD duty rates range from 19.64% to 25% of CIF value depending on the exporting company. Products under review are classified under tariff codes 7306.40.20.90.00, 7306.40.80.90.00, and 7306.61.10.00.00.

According to Assofermet's monthly report, Italy's scrap market reversed course sharply in the second half of June, with new contract prices falling €20–30/mt below previous highs — a steeper decline than markets had anticipated — as weakening downstream steel demand prompted mills to sharply cut scrap purchases. Internationally, Turkey's scrap market fell US$25–30/mt in June, while Spain declined around €20/mt. In stainless scrap, LME nickel's decline and expectations of July mill production cuts triggered a downward price correction, though tight availability of rarer grades limited the drop; India absorbed significant European volumes in the second half of the month. July opens under pressure, with mills facing weak demand, high inventories, and planned shutdowns bringing purchasing activity near a standstill. In ferroalloys, manganese was the most active segment on pre-safeguard stockpiling, ferrochrome held broadly stable, and ferrosilicon eased slightly at month-end.

El gobierno de la India ha ampliado la exención de certificación para productos planos de acero inoxidable acabados hasta el 31 de marzo de 2027. Sin embargo, los productores de acero inoxidable pequeños y medianos están instando a las autoridades a restablecer las órdenes obligatorias de control de calidad sobre el acero inoxidable importado para frenar el aumento de las importaciones chinas de bajo precio. La política se flexibilizó a finales de 2025 para hacer frente a la escasez nacional de ciertos grados, pero las importaciones aumentaron bruscamente en los dos meses posteriores al cambio. En abril, las importaciones de acero inoxidable de la India alcanzaron 101.252 toneladas, un aumento interanual del 65%, mientras que las exportaciones de acero acabado de China a la India se duplicaron con respecto al año anterior hasta un máximo de dos años.
