[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Acerinox sees no European stainless recovery before early next year as consumption slumps

Acerinox estimates European apparent consumption of stainless flat products fell 22% in Q3 and 11% in the first nine months. Flat imports dropped 42% over nine months and 50% in Q3, which it attributes to CBAM and the EU’s new steel measures, which cut quotas by 55% and doubled the out-of-quota tariff to 50%. With high inventories and material bought before the measures still being worked through, it does not expect a recovery before early 2027.
