[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Indonesia Stainless Export Prices Hike $30/mt

On May 6, 2026, following a brief morning suspension, one of the Indonesia's stainless steel mill raised export quotations across all series by $30/mt. According to SMM analysis, the hike is driven by the convergence of positive holiday-period policies and the introduction of "windfall tax" expectations, which have funneled cost premiums directly to downstream products. Indonesian 304 CRC FOB offers are now positioned at approximately $2,227/mt.
