After a one-month consultation period, Fastmarkets has launched a CIF Indonesia ferrochrome price. Indonesia is an emerging destination for global ferro-chrome resources, with 1.6 million tonnes of ferro-chrome imported in 2022, to meet increasing stainless steel capacity in the nation.There is also market demand for this price from subscribers that already reference Fastmarkets’ assessment of ferro-chrome import prices in China, Japan and South Korea for use in term contracts or spot trade negotiations.
The new price is assessed on an CIF Indonesia basis and includes materials that are sold to Indonesia on a spot seaborne market.
