According to a survey by SMM, the national stainless steel output in June was 2.3449 million tons, down 2.34 percent from the previous month and up 23.73 percent from the same period last year. Separately, the output of the 300th series in June was 1.126 million tons, a decrease of 2.76% compared with the previous month. According to the SMM survey, the circular decrease in the output of the 300th series in March was mainly due to the reduction of 300series production in some steel mills due to costs and orders. The output of the 200 series was reduced by 2% to 883000 tons, mainly due to the maintenance of the South China Steel Plant. The output of the fourth series decreased by 1.95 per cent to 428500 tons compared with the previous month.

[SMM Nickel Flash] Based on nickel ore prices from 25 days ago, smelter profits for high-grade NPI remained high this week. However, from the current raw material side, ore prices from both the Philippines and Indonesia increased, while auxiliary material prices saw a slight pullback, leading to an increase in the cash cost of producing high-grade NPI from spot ore. At the same time, high-grade NPI prices experienced some pullback, making it difficult for smelter profits to see sustained improvement.
