In industrial production, high-carbon ferrochrome, as a key alloy additive, has a wide range of applications. However, China's ferrochrome market is relatively passive: on the upstream side, it is restricted by scarce chromite resources, with an external dependence of over 99.8%; on the downstream side, approximately 90% of high-carbon ferrochrome flows into the stainless steel sector, among which more than 80% is settled through long-term contracts, guided by the bidding prices of mainstream steel mills. Meanwhile, in recent years, the high-carbon ferrochrome industry has been plagued by severe overcapacity, leading to increasingly fierce market competition and significantly greater price fluctuations. Against this backdrop, after long-term accumulation and in-depth market research, SMM officially launched the High-Carbon Ferrochrome Steel Bidding Price Expectation Index. This index aims to more truly and effectively reflect the current market dynamics of the chrome market, predict market price expectations in advance, and reduce transaction risks and costs.
