China's EMM output stood at 101,200 mt in March, up 18.84% MoM and down 11.75% YoY, SMM data showed. The growth was primarily attributed to rising operating rates in Sichuan and Yunnan production areas. The operating rates of leading manufacturers could be 70% higher than that agreed at meetings because they purchased some production indicators. A longer month also explained the increase in production. In March, 200-series and 300-series stainless steel production grew at a similar rate. Due to the weak performance of terminal consumption, steel mill inventory increased.
Entering April, while leading EMM producers continued to operate and some small ones remained closed, the rest maintained 70% of their production capacity. Therefore, the overall monthly EMM supply will fluctuate within a small range, and is expected to be about 100,700 mt.
