Spanish stainless steel producer Acerinox set its October European flat-product surcharge for 316L (1.4404) at €3.972/kg, down €0.035/kg or 0.87% from September. Surcharges for higher-molybdenum grades also eased: 904L fell 1.21% to €7.004/kg, 317L declined 0.77% to €5.187/kg, and duplex 2205 slipped 0.15% to €3.994/kg. By contrast, 316L long-product surcharges rose to €4.323/kg for billet, €4.499/kg for wire rod, €4.715/kg for angle/hot-rolled bar, and €5.252/kg for wire/bright bar, up 0.75%-1.12% month on month. Alloy surcharges reflect multiple inputs, including nickel, chromium, molybdenum and energy, and should not be read as a pure molybdenum-price signal.

Tubacex issued its October tube alloy surcharges. In euros, hot-/cold-finished 316/316L fell from €5.07/€5.59 per kg (€5,070/€5,590 per tonne) to €5.05/€5.56 per kg (€5,050/€5,560 per tonne). High Mo content materials, with Mo above 2.5%, declined from €5.26/€5.79 to €5.23/€5.76 per kg. Surcharges for 2205 and 2507 were unchanged, while 254 SMO rose from €9.64/€10.62 to €9.67/€10.65 per kg.

【Flash | Alleima Raises October Surcharges for Mo-Bearing Tube Grades】

Alleima raised tube alloy surcharges in Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania from Oct 1. For hot-finished products, 316/316L rose from €5.26/kg (€5,260/t) to €5.33/kg (€5,330/t); High Mo from €5.74/kg (€5,740/t) to €5.81/kg (€5,810/t); SAF 2205 and SAF 2507 increased 2.26% and 1.95%; and 254 SMO rose 0.70%. The hot-finished energy surcharge more than doubled to €0.21/kg (€210/t). SMM analysis: Mo-bearing surcharges broadly rose, but the energy reset means the full increase cannot be attributed to molybdenum.
