Analysis review

This week's stainless steel inventory totaled 664,800 tons, down 0.46% from last week. Among them, the cold rolled inventory declined and the hot rolled inventory rose.

In terms of supply and demand, the output of stainless steel increased in October, the accumulation of stocks that the market worried about had not occurred yet, and the supply side of raw materials disturbed the cost support. However, the demand side was mainly due to the increased circulation among traders. The terminal demand of Golden September Silver October was generally poor, the domestic PMI was weak, and the pace of repair was disturbed by the epidemic. The import and export data of stainless steel were weak.

Market outlook

To sum up, the demand effect of the golden September and silver October peak season has faded, and the overall demand for stainless steel is weak in the traditional slack season. Before, the problem of raw material shortage of stainless steel had been fermented for a round, and then the raw materials should be gradually supplemented, and then the shortage of raw materials may be gradually alleviated. It is expected that stainless steel will maintain a weak trend of shock in the future.
