As of 10:30, the most-traded SHFE stainless steel futures contract SS2505 was quoted at 13,200 yuan/mt. The spot premiums for Wuxi stainless steel ranged from -80 to 220 yuan/mt. Note: spot trimmed-edge price = rough-edge price + 170 yuan/mt.
In the spot market, stainless steel inventories in major markets such as Foshan and Wuxi remained at high levels, with some spot stainless steel prices showing a downward trend. Market trading sentiment was mediocre and lacked vitality. Demand side, downstream customers mostly made just-in-time procurement, showing no strong purchasing intention. Supply side, despite some cost support, overall market supply remained abundant. The oversupply situation made it difficult for stainless steel prices to gain sufficient upward momentum.
