"SMM Nickel Industry chain Weekly report", the weekly report SMM will select one of the hot topics, prices, market or major changes in the industry chain information published for your reference.

The following is an excerpt from the weekly report of the SMM nickel industry chain:

 

304 stainless steel waste price increased this week 200-300 yuan / ton, 304 material reported at 8500-8600 yuan / ton. Recently, the rise in the price of stainless steel waste, on the one hand, due to the rise in the price of stainless steel finished products led to the price of raw materials; on the other hand, due to the purchase of steel mills, but due to the impact of the epidemic, the resumption of construction was delayed, waste production was less in March, and the recycling and circulation of superimposed waste in the market also stagnated for nearly two months, resulting in a tight supply of goods in the market and a stronger price.

The price of scrap stainless steel has risen by more than the recent increase in high nickel pig iron, so the premium of high nickel pig iron over waste stainless steel has gradually expanded from 100 yuan / nickel point in early April to 135 yuan / nickel point this Friday.
