5、 Market analysis
In March, Castle Peak announced that it would deliver pyrometallurgical high matte nickel to battery manufacturers in October, which is expected to open up the path from surplus to shortage of nickel, resulting in a sharp decline in nickel prices. However, from the follow-up development, the epidemic situation in Indonesia and the Philippines and the global shipping situation have led to high nickel ore prices, while the release of nickel pig iron capacity lags behind, and the international price of stainless steel rose in the first half of the year Production exceeded expectations, nickel pig iron production was insufficient, and the center of gravity of nickel price oscillated upward.
The output of stainless steel will decrease month on month in October and November under the influence of the production restriction policy, and the nickel price may be under slight pressure, while stainless steel has a certain upward momentum. In December, due to the pressure of provincial GDP, the production restriction policy may be gradually relaxed, and the trading logic of nickel will return completely. At that time, the nickel price may rise to the previous high.
During the national day, the spot price of stainless steel rose slightly, the downstream stock was moderately replenished, and the transaction atmosphere was acceptable. The supply of stainless steel spot market was still tight. In terms of stainless steel seamless pipes, the market inventory of some specifications of pipes had begun to shortage, and it was difficult to purchase appropriate products if the customers order was a little larger.
In recent years, the limited supply and demand of stainless steel have been weak, and the production restriction of stainless steel plants continues, but the downstream consumer market has also been affected, and the price is relatively high, and the consumption performance is weak. At present, the spot supply of 304 stainless steel is still not abundant, the futures warehouse receipts are also at a historical low, and the low inventory state improves the price elasticity. In the future, dual control of energy consumption and power restriction and production restriction may become impossible Stainless steel is an important factor in the supply side of stainless steel. Affected by the production restriction policy, the supply of stainless steel will continue to decline, and the limited impact on the demand side may only be a short-term phenomenon, but the downstream consumption largely depends on the change of price. The reduction of supply has brought strong support to the price of stainless steel, but the weak consumption has limited the excessive rise of price. Therefore, stainless steel is suitable for bargain hunting rather than chasing high.
