Stainless transaction prices in Europe are base price + alloy surcharge, with the surcharge — reset monthly by mills — carrying the nickel, molybdenum and ferrochrome exposure. Anchors from published mill data: Aperam's June 2026 surcharge reached €2,365/t for 304 and €4,056/t for 316L, and July surcharges moved higher again on firm nickel (~$17,000/t). The tables below are the ScInfoLabs indicative model built on those anchors: switch views for daily, monthly and quarterly perspectives.

How to read this table. Price dots score typical value-for-money at contract volumes (5 = most competitive — imports and high-volume mills lead; specialty producers cost more for a reason). Quality dots reflect certification depth and metallurgical range (EN 10204 3.1/3.2, PED, NORSOK where applicable). Lead times are typical ranges: stockholders deliver ex-stock in days, mills roll in weeks, India-origin arrives in 8–14 weeks CIF with EU safeguard-quota timing risk. The classic German buyer''s split: Stappert/Damstahl/Hempel for speed, Outokumpu/Aperam/DEW on contract for volume, Jindal/Viraj for planable price-driven tonnage.
This vendor landscape is an editorial research aid compiled from public company information and re-reviewed monthly against verifiable public sources (company announcements, financial reports, trade press); KPI positions change only when a checkable public fact changes — it is not an audited supplier scorecard, ranking of commercial performance, or endorsement, and no vendor paid for placement. KPI dots are indicative positioning by supplier type; actual price, quality and lead time depend on grade, dimensions, volume and market moment — always run your own RFQ.
Reading the market — Q3/Q4 2026 prognosis
Direction: firm with a nickel bias. North American stainless turned +3.9% in Q1 2026 after a 10.8% slide across 2025, and European surcharges have climbed monthly on nickel and ferrochrome strength. Expect Mo-bearing grades (316/316L, super duplex) to outpace 304-family on any nickel/moly rally — the 316L-over-304 surcharge gap (~€1,700/t) is historically wide and is itself a signal of alloy-market tightness. Ferritic 430 remains the low-volatility refuge for applications that tolerate it.
*Origin economics. Non-EU (India, and similarly Vietnam/Indonesia) offers typically land 10–18% below EU mill totals (modeled at −14% here) — but carry EU safeguard-quota timing risk, possible anti-dumping/CBAM exposure, and 8–14 week lead times versus 2–6 weeks ex-EU-mill. The classic buyer's split: EU origin for time-critical and certified-pressure applications, Indian origin for planable volume on plates and standard bars.
Buyer's playbook. Surcharges are published around the 25th for the following month — time large bookings just after a nickel dip crystallizes into a lower monthly surcharge. Index long contracts to the published mill surcharge (never fix it), qualify a second (non-EU) source now while quotas are open, and watch our live dashboard copper/nickel complex as the early-warning signal.
