V. Market analysis Domestic ferromolybdenum shows a downward trend, and the domestic mainstream spot cash quotation is 253-258,000 yuan/ton. The expectation of a sharp decline in the RKAB audit of Indonesias nickel mines has been basically priced by the market, and the nickel price is further higher or needs more bullish news to boost it. The fundamentals of oversupply of pure nickel and continuous accumulation of stocks suppress the space above the nickel price. Follow-up attention to whether the nickel mine policy can land as scheduled, the policy speculation is expected, and the macro atmosphere is optimistic. In the short term, the nickel price is treated with the idea of bargain hunting. At present, the downstream demand of stainless steel is still weak, and the inventory remains high. The overall stainless steel itself has little fundamental contradiction, and it is expected to follow the nickel price.
