Analysis review
This week's stainless steel inventory totaled 825,300 tons, up 3.5% from last week, among them, cold rolling warehouse and hot rolling stock both rose.
To sum up, as the end of the year is approaching, some stainless steel prices have risen due to the positive impact of the downstream stainless steel enterprises' pre holiday stock preparation and the stimulus of favorable macro policies. However, the nickel price at the raw material end fell slightly this week, and the stainless steel price subsequently fell back.
Market outlook
It is expected that the stainless steel will mainly operate to be weaker in shock in the short term.
