[Flash de acero inoxidable de SMM] El diferencial de precio del 316L indonesio frente al 304 se amplía a 1.800 $/t ante el repunte de los costes del molibdeno

According to market reports, European stainless mills are facing mounting cost pressure from both geopolitics and raw materials. Concerns linked to the US-Iran conflict are adding uncertainty to energy and input costs, while 304 scrap has climbed to €1,400/t delivered across most EU countries this month. The continued rise in costs is becoming a key support factor for higher stainless steel prices in Europe.

According to market reports, European mills are closing June order books and beginning to quote for July delivery. Market indications show CRC deals for May delivery were concluded at around €2,550-2,570/t delivered, while June delivery is being offered and achieved at €2,600-2,630/t delivered. July offers have now reached €2,700/t delivered, pointing to a further upward shift in the European stainless CRC price base.

Según informes de mercado, los precios europeos del acero inoxidable plano continúan subiendo con fuerza, pero el sentimiento general del mercado sigue siendo cauteloso. Los comentarios recogidos en la feria Tube & Wire de Düsseldorf sugieren que la incertidumbre geopolítica, la débil actividad aguas abajo y las perspectivas dispares para los usuarios finales siguen pesando sobre la confianza. Aunque la demanda ha mejorado respecto a los bajos niveles registrados en 2025, la actividad real de los usuarios finales sigue siendo decepcionante.
