Analysis review
According to the price difference analysis tool of SunSirs, the recent spot stainless steel and nickel prices have not been in the same trend. The upstream nickel fluctuated greatly, and the stainless steel price changed less.
Although the total social inventory of stainless steel has declined slightly recently, it is still at a high level. The domestic epidemic has shown a trend of local high concentration and multi-point distribution, which has varying degrees of impact on stainless steel supply, demand, logistics and warehousing, especially on logistics and downstream demand, and the inventory in steel mills continues to increase.
Market outlook
It is expected that the price of stainless steel will remain weak as a whole.
