How to calculate the chromium to steel ratio
Chromium to Steel ratio = Chromium price per Metric Ton ÷ Steel price per Metric Ton
The two legs use different units, so the result is a rate — Metric Tons of steel per Metric Ton of chromium — rather than a plain count.
Worked example, live prices: $10,500.01 ÷ $3,066.00 = 3.425. The inverse is 0.2920.
