Analysis review

In the afternoon, there was a market rumor that "a cold rolling mill in Shandong will reduce production due to the Winter Olympics". The monthly output of the cold rolling mill is about 50,000 tons. If the rumor comes true, it will have some impact on the market. Stainless steel futures also rose sharply after hearing this news. Upstream nickel prices also rose sharply, supporting stainless steel prices. However, the spot market is relatively calm, the demand was in the off-season, and the purchase was mainly on-demand. There was a shortage of certain specifications in the market, supporting the stainless steel market.

Market outlook

It is expected that in the short term, stainless steel will be stable and tend to be stronger.
