Europe Stainless Steel Index
MEPS regional average stainless steel indices for Europe are derived from an arithmetic average of prices in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the UK. Prices are collected in the appropriate local currency and converted into euros to provide a basis for comparison. Indices are calculated by comparing the current price with the corresponding value in April 1997. This base value has an index number of 100.
The data relates to regular business, between buyers and steel mills, for newly produced, prime, commercial quality material, negotiated during the current month, for forward delivery. The figures are inclusive of alloy surcharges.
