4、 Statistical data

According to Mysteel research:

By the end of June 2022, the inventory of 15 domestic mainstream stainless steel plants was 1.0855 million tons, with a month on month decrease of 3.92% and a year-on-year decrease of 7.17%. The epidemic situation in East China and other regions improved in June, and the demand for resumption of work in some downstream areas involved slightly improved compared with that in May. In addition, the domestic stainless steel factory received poor orders for finished products in June, and the production efficiency was poor. There was a significant reduction in production. The market had digested some inventory, and the stainless steel factory warehouse and social warehouse showed a downward trend in varying degrees. Of which:

200 series 367300 tons, with a month on month decrease of 8.59% and a year-on-year decrease of 16.71%;

300 series 477900 tons, with a month on month decrease of 1.36% and a year-on-year decrease of 13.89%;

400 is 240300 tons, with a month on month decrease of 1.31% and a year-on-year increase of 38.58%.

5、 Market analysis

The PMI data of new manufacturing orders in the United States and the euro zone decreased significantly in June, and the fear of economic recession further intensified; The Federal Reserve is expected to continue its aggressive interest rate hike, with the dollar index rising and liquidity tightening; Recently, the emergence of the second-generation mutation of Omicron may bring a new epidemic, and the market risk sentiment is frustrated.

The import volume of nickel ore has increased significantly, the supply of raw materials is guaranteed, and the import of nickel and iron from Indonesia has also continued to hit a new high. In addition, the production scheduling plan of domestic steel mills in July has decreased by nearly 8% month on month. The supply of nickel is becoming loose, but we need to pay attention to the extremely low nickel inventory at home and abroad.

The short-term supply and demand of 304 stainless steel are both weak. The loss of the steel plant leads to the decline of output, while the consumption is weak in the continuous decline of prices, and the overall supply and demand performance is poor. However, the social inventory has fallen for five weeks in the continuous decline of prices, and has now fallen to the midstream level. Moreover, under the current price, almost all stainless steel plants and domestic ferronickel plants are in a state of loss, and it is difficult for the mining end to continue to make profits. The short-term price has fallen to the support level of industrial cost, and the industrial supply and demand support will be gradually obtained below, which should not be overly pessimistic. However, the short-term macro sentiment is still pessimistic, and prices may still be weak and volatile until the peripheral sentiment improves.

Focus of stainless steel market in the second half of 2022:

1. Stainless steel raw material end cost changes.

2. The market demand is improved, the field is expanded, and the sales volume changes.

3. Stainless steel China India capacity release rhythm changes.

4. Stainless steel inventory reduction rhythm, as well as futures warehouse receipt changes.

5. The import and export of stainless steel have changed as a whole.

It is expected that stainless steel will continue to show wide fluctuations, and the overall center of gravity is expected to move lower than that in the first half of 2022, and the high point may be more difficult to exceed the high point in the first half of the year. The main fluctuation range of stainless steel futures is expected to be 14000-20000 yuan / ton. From the perspective of the industry, the stainless steel profit may be maintained at a relatively weak level due to the joint impact of changes in raw material value and supply changes, but the continuous decline in production scheduling and the expected improvement in demand may also slow down the downward rhythm.
