Taiwan: Yusco hikes 300-series stainless steel prices for Mar’25 deliveries

Taiwan’s leading stainless steel manufacturer, Yusco, raised prices of 304 cold-rolled and hot-rolled coils by TWD 1,000/t ($30/t) for Mar’25 deliveries. This marks a second consecutive price increase, driven by higher raw material costs, such as of nickel pig iron and ferro chrome. Prices of 316L and 430 products were unchanged. Demand remains uncertain due to upcoming US tariff changes.
