SHANGHAI, Oct 28 (SMM) — Recently, Typhoon Quinta and Morafi hit the Philippines, among which surigao and Zambales were seriously affected. At present, the shipment has basically stagnated.

According to the current situation, the shipment volume in the Philippines will drop significantly in October, and with the rainy season approaching, the shipment in the Philippines will once again enter a downturn in this year.

[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Indonesian Mills Raise Export Prices by $50/t Amid Rising Geopolitical Tensions

According to SMM, mainstream Indonesian stainless steel mills have raised their export quotations by a significant USD 50/mt today. Beyond the fundamental tightness in raw materials, this sharp upward adjustment is heavily driven by the lingering ripple effects of global geopolitical conflicts. The prolonged war has severely disrupted international supply chains, triggering a broad rally in safe-haven commodities and driving up global energy and shipping costs. This macroeconomic spillover has intensified cost-push inflation across the nickel and stainless steel industry chain, forcing mills to aggressively hike prices to hedge against surging comprehensive costs and mounting geopolitical uncertainties.
