Hastelloy Prices

Hastelloy Prices December 2023

The hastelloy prices in the United States for Q4 2023 reached 57741 USD/MT (Hastelloy C-276) in December. October saw an increase in prices of hastelloy, on account of the robust demand from the automotive and chemical industries and a restricted steel scraps and nickel feedstock supply. Economic indicators like strong ISM industrial index and higher bond yields reflected robust economic conditions. However, November marked a downturn in prices as production increased and demand from end use industries waned. The situation worsened in December with constant low prices, influenced by high inventories and declining demand. Furthermore, cheaper imports from China resulted in strategic adjustments in the US market, while adverse weather and policy uncertainties also dampened demand.

The price trend for hastelloy in Japan for Q4 2023, reached 65174 USD/MT (Hastelloy C-276) in December. Prices in Japan's spot market for hastelloy decreased on account of the weak demand from automotive and chemical industries. The automotive sector's growth, fueled by hybrid and electric vehicle demand, could not counterbalance the increased supply. November saw further price reductions as Japanese steelmakers expanded capacity, leading to surplus production and intensified regional competition.

The price trend for hastelloy in Germany for Q4 2023, reached 96620 USD/MT (Hastelloy B-2) in December. Prices in Germany increased in October as a result of increased demand from the chemical and automotive industries as well as a limited availability of raw materials. Lower rate of production had an impact on the amount of nickel pig iron and steel scrap that was inventoried globally, and the EU Carbon Border Tax led to a ban on the export of ferrous scrap, which created supply issues.

The hastelloy prices in the UAE for Q4 2023 reached 51120 USD/MT (Hastelloy C-276) in December. The UAE market experienced a decrease in Hastelloy prices in November due to lower import costs and reduced domestic demand, exacerbated by an extended export ban on stainless-steeland steel scrap. This move underscored the importance of scrap in local production, even though the region contributes less tonnage than the EU.
