The output of stainless steel has increased since November as the power rationing has been eased. However, downstream producers’ consumption thinned, suppressing stainless steel prices. Stainless steel mills suffered losses as prices of raw material like ferrochrome and NPI were at high levels, in spite of correction. Especially, #200-series stainless steel prices have declined 2,900 yuan/mt or 22.3% since early November.
