Market analysis of Stainless steel
There are market rumors that tariff policies will be adjusted again this month, and rumors that cold- and hot-rolled pipes, plates and other steel products may be levied on export tariffs of 10%-20%. This news has caused widespread concern in the market. At present, the price difference between China's hot coil and the Asian average is roughly the same, and the export advantage is relatively small, and the levy of tariffs will comprehensively hinder export transactions. Taking into account the impact of tariffs on overseas purchase intentions, the current steel mills are aiming to complete previous orders, suspend receiving new orders, and market quotations are low.
 
The Philippines was affected by the typhoon and the epidemic, and shipping was blocked. The downstream profitable mines sought to redistribute profits. Traders were reluctant to sell, and the price center steadily rose.
 
The base price of domestic nickel ore trade in Indonesia continued to rise in August, up 4% month-on-month. The domestic high-nickel iron remained at 1390 yuan/nickel, and the ferrochrome remained at 10400-10500 yuan/ton. The cost remained at a relatively high level. Electricity curtailment affected the release of stainless steel production capacity. , The epidemic has affected the shipment of stainless steel in some areas. The inventory is still not tired this week, the demand performance is acceptable, and the basis remains at a high level. Pay attention to the long opportunities after the suppression.
