China's stainless steel market faces near-term pressure in Q3 before an anticipated rebound driven by production cuts and seasonal demand recovery. High temperatures and rainfall in July and August typically slow construction activity, dampening inventory depletion in key hubs such as Wuxi and Foshan. To counter shrinking margins, mills initiated maintenance shutdowns, with planned output estimated to decline 4.11% over June-July. By September, the traditional "Golden September, Silver October" peak season combined with equipment upgrade policies should revive terminal procurement. On the macro front, potential US rate hikes and tariff proposals weigh on global metal markets, while domestically, new capacity replacement rules are accelerating the phase-out of obsolete production. With raw material cost support fading, supply-demand fundamentals are set to become the primary market driver.

[7.3 Compte-rendu de la réunion du matin] L’emploi privé américain selon ADP a augmenté de 98 000 en juin, la plus faible progression depuis mars et un chiffre inférieur aux attentes du marché de 118 000. Le contrat nickel 2609 le plus traité au SHFE a évolué sans direction en matinée, clôturant la séance à 125 880 yuans la tonne, en baisse de 0,41 %. Le raffermissement du dollar et le basculement des anticipations du marché vers une orientation plus « hawkish » de la Fed maintiennent un environnement macroéconomique difficile. L’attention se tourne désormais vers les données ADP et le rapport sur l’emploi non agricole américains de cette semaine. À court terme, les prix du nickel devraient rester déprimés au sein d’une fourchette de 125 000 à 135 000 yuans la tonne.
