Turkey's Ministry of Commerce has initiated a sunset review of anti-dumping measures on stainless steel pipes and hollow sections imported from Vietnam, following an application by domestic producers, according to the country's Official Gazette. The review will determine whether revoking existing duties would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping. Current AD duty rates range from 19.64% to 25% of CIF value depending on the exporting company. Products under review are classified under tariff codes 7306.40.20.90.00, 7306.40.80.90.00, and 7306.61.10.00.00.

According to Assofermet's monthly report, Italy's scrap market reversed course sharply in the second half of June, with new contract prices falling €20–30/mt below previous highs — a steeper decline than markets had anticipated — as weakening downstream steel demand prompted mills to sharply cut scrap purchases. Internationally, Turkey's scrap market fell US$25–30/mt in June, while Spain declined around €20/mt. In stainless scrap, LME nickel's decline and expectations of July mill production cuts triggered a downward price correction, though tight availability of rarer grades limited the drop; India absorbed significant European volumes in the second half of the month. July opens under pressure, with mills facing weak demand, high inventories, and planned shutdowns bringing purchasing activity near a standstill. In ferroalloys, manganese was the most active segment on pre-safeguard stockpiling, ferrochrome held broadly stable, and ferrosilicon eased slightly at month-end.

O governo da Índia prorrogou a isenção de certificação para produtos planos de aço inoxidável acabado até 31 de março de 2027. No entanto, pequenos e médios produtores de aço inoxidável estão instando as autoridades a restabelecer ordens obrigatórias de controle de qualidade sobre o aço inoxidável importado para conter o aumento das importações chinesas de baixo preço. A política foi flexibilizada no final de 2025 para lidar com a escassez interna de certas classes, mas as importações aumentaram acentuadamente dois meses após a mudança. Em abril, as importações de aço inoxidável da Índia atingiram 101.252 toneladas, um salto de 65% em relação ao ano anterior, enquanto as exportações de aço acabado da China para a Índia dobraram ante o ano anterior, atingindo o maior patamar em dois anos.
