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

Macro factors triggered market panic, affecting not only safe-haven assets such as gold and silver, but also basic metals. From a fundamental point of view, the peak of stainless steel prices and increased profit pressure are the factors restricting the upward rise of nickel prices, but they are not the decisive factors in the near future. spot nickel prices are strong, and nickel pig iron has little room to fall. There is still a gap between the supply and demand of primary nickel in the third quarter, so the decline in nickel prices may not be a long-term trend. at present, macro sentiment and bears have the upper hand, making it difficult for nickel prices to rebound quickly. It is expected that the near-term nickel price in the current low near the wide range of strong shocks, or can look forward to later repair. It is estimated that next week, Shanghai nickel is 114000-120000 yuan / ton, Lunni is 14500-15300 US dollars / ton.

Although the output of nickel pig iron has increased slightly, the overall supply is still relatively tight. in the case of no obvious increase on the supply side, the price of nickel and iron has shown a trend of slight correction this week, mainly due to:

1. The price of nickel fell sharply. The price of Ferro-nickel rose to pure nickel, and the falling nickel price brought pressure on the seller's market mentality. Worried about the future, the holder's offer mentality weakened slightly.

two。 The price of stainless steel is affected by the weakening of consumption in the spot market, the price falls, the profit margin narrows (see stainless steel), while the profit space of the raw material side is still large, the buyer squeezes the profit of the raw material, and the inquiry quotation is also lower.
