[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Chinese Taiwan's Stainless Steel Market Shifting to a Wait-and-See Stance

Following Chinese Taiwan's upstream mills announcing flat July prices, midstream and downstream players share a broadly cautious market outlook, with inventories remaining high and actual demand sluggish. Market participants note that mounting destocking pressure among local distributors has fueled speculation that mills may adjust actual ex-factory prices downward to align with current market trends. However, some industry players argue that since real demand has yet to materialize, indiscriminate price cuts would only weaken the price trend without helping to clear inventory or improve sales performance, doing more harm than good. Overall, the market has shifted into a wait-and-see mode, with price stability under scrutiny.

A stronger US dollar has pressured metal markets, weighing on key raw materials such as nickel and stainless steel scrap. Offsetting factors include rising ferromolybdenum costs and peak summer electricity rates, which continue to add financial pressure on manufacturing operations. Balancing these conflicting cost dynamics against customer needs, Walsin Lihwa opted for a stable pricing approach to safeguard buyers' market competitiveness.
