On February 12, stainless steel electronic trading remained at low levels, while spot prices for different steel grades showed varying trends. The price of 201 pulled back, 304 remained stable, and 430 edged up slightly. These differences were mainly attributed to varying inventory pressure and response measures. In Wuxi, 304 cold-rolled was quoted at 12,950-13,350 yuan/mt, 304 HRC at 12,450-12,600 yuan/mt, 316L cold-rolled at 23,800-24,200 yuan/mt, 201J1 cold-rolled at 7,700-7,800 yuan/mt, and 430 cold-rolled at 7,300-7,450 yuan/mt.
