Specifications, coverage and how to compare

Trading Basis & Assessment Specifications

Each series keeps its own delivery basis and published unit.

Hub Coverage

  • 11 series with a loaded observation; 2 daily and 9 weekly.
  • Units: EUR/mt (7), USD/st (2), CNY/mt (1), USD/mt (1). Values in different units are not converted or compared on this site.
  • Delivery terms in the basis column: no Incoterm stated (10), CFR (1). Different delivery terms are not interchangeable; the gap may reflect freight, insurance, basis, parcel and timing differences.
  • Latest assessment dates range from 10 Sep 2026 to 9 Oct 2026; compare only series with the same date.

How to Compare These Series

  • For day-to-day moves use a daily series (US 304 Stainless CRC EXW mill, US 316 Stainless CRC EXW mill); for week-on-week and monthly context use a weekly series (CR304 2B 2mm East Asia imports CFR, CR304 Ex-warehouse Foshan VAT-inclusive, Alloy surcharge 304 coil Europe domestic production, Alloy surcharge 316 coil Europe domestic production and 5 more). A daily and a weekly series are related markets, not one history.
  • Units differ: USD/mt (1), CNY/mt (1), USD/st (2), EUR/mt (7). Pick the series in the unit you trade; this site does not convert between them.

Based on each series delivery term, unit and type. No average across bases or units is computed for this hub.
