Hastelloy Price Trend

Hastelloy Prices December 2023

In Q4 2023, in the USA, Hastelloy prices surged in October due to increased demand from the chemical and automotive sectors, limited steel scrap and Nickel feedstock supply, and strong economic indicators. However, production rates increased in November, leading to surplus inventory and reduced downstream demand, resulting in a 57741 USD/MT price for Hastelloy C-276.

Moreover, In Japan, Hastelloy C-276 prices declined, standing at 65174 USD/MT due to sluggish demand from domestic automotive and chemical sectors, increased metallurgical coke prices in India and China, and a decline in industrial output.

Similarly, In Germany, Hastelloy prices in Germany slightly rose due to increased demand from the automotive and chemical sectors but declined in November and December due to reduced demand, oversupply, and production costs. The quarter concluded with a price of 96620 USD/MT for Hastelloy B-2.

Furthermore, In the UAE, Hastelloy prices stabilized in December, with sufficient supply and firm demand from the construction and automotive industries. Despite fluctuations and trade disruptions, the UAE ended the quarter with a price of 51120 USD/MT for Hastelloy C-276.
