Taiwan: Stainless steel prices seen rising for 3rd straight month in Feb’26

Taiwan’s stainless steel prices are expected to increase in Feb’26, marking a third consecutive monthly rise. Upstream mills are set to announce fresh prices this week, with wire rod prices likely to rise more steeply than plates. The hike is driven by rising feedstock costs, particularly higher slab and 304 black surface prices from Indonesia’s Tsingshan, alongside firm alloy costs, including nickel, copper, molybdenum.
