Fastmarkets launches Mexico stainless steel scrap prices

The new prices complement Fastmarkets’ existing coverage in the region amid increased calls for independent Mexican scrap price references.

Broker/processor price assessments reflect regional collection prices, while ex-works price assessments reflect tradeable levels for the stainless scrap sent chiefly to the US export market.

Standalone pricing for the Mexican stainless steel scrap market aligns with changes in the region’s market dynamics owing to the US government’s shifting international trade policy, as well as concerns that the US-Mexico-Canada (USMCA) trade agreement might be dissolved or pre-empted by other agreements.

In launching Mexican stainless steel scrap prices, Fastmarkets provides a standalone reference for pricing independent of the US market, offering clarity amid ongoing uncertainty on the global stage.

The specifications for the new prices are as follows:
