On the demand side, according to the trader's reaction, the price of stainless steel has risen, but it can not sell real goods, and the demand is not good.

  Steel mill price adjustment: Wuxi JiuGang Steel (9.3-9.9) weekly price: 304 cold-rolled trimming base price of 16150 RMB/ton; ring-to-ring flat plate; 430 cold-rolled base price of 8200 RMB/ton, an increase of 100 RMB/ton month-on-month.

  Industry dynamics: Citigroup raised its forecast price of nickel, saying that prices of nickel must be at a higher level to encourage producers to increase output to offset the impact of Indonesia's nickel ore export ban. Citigroup expects an average nickel price of $17,500 per ton in the coming year and $17,000 per ton in 2021, higher than previously expected of $14,000. Stainless steel futures will be listed on September 25.

  3.Market outlook

  Indonesia's ban on mining has led to strong expectations for a reduction in the supply of electrolytic nickel and high prices, which have made it difficult for stainless steel prices to fall sharply even in the face of sluggish demand. Now the high nickel price shocks, entering the peak demand season of September and the demand is expected to rebound. It is expected that the prices of stainless steel will be shocking at its high price levels in short-term.
