[SMM Stainless Steel Daily Review] SS futures continue to consolidate on a weak note, spot stainless steel low-price transactions see some recovery

[SMM Stainless Steel Daily Review] SS Futures Continued to Consolidate on a Weak Note, Spot Low-Price Transactions Saw Some Recovery According to SMM on August 24, SS futures consolidated on a subdued note, continuing the weakening trend from last week, with limited fluctuation range overall. At the close, the most-traded SS contract settled at 14,215 yuan/mt. Spot market side, the decline in SS futures gradually slowed, while SHFE nickel saw a tentative rebound. Combined with the pre-peak season sentiment improving market confidence and spot prices at low levels, intraday transactions saw some recovery. SS futures most-traded contract. At 10:15 a.m., SS2610 was reported at 14,260 yuan/mt, up 55 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. Spot premiums for 304/2B in Wuxi ranged between 410-610 yuan/mt. In the spot market, Wuxi cold-rolled 201/2B coil average prices were flat; cold-rolled 304/2B coil, Wuxi average prices rose 25 yuan/mt, Foshan average prices were flat; Wuxi cold-rolled 316L/2B coil prices were flat; hot-rolled 316L/NO.1 coil, Wuxi quotes were flat; Wuxi and Foshan cold-rolled 430/2B coil were flat. This week, stainless steel futures overall consolidated at lows. Earlier, impacted by news of an increase in Indonesia's RKAB nickel mine quotas, SS futures fell sharply, pulling back market valuation to a low range. This week, driven by a broader recovery in nonferrous metals, futures saw a phased rebound, but earlier bearish sentiment had not fully dissipated, leading to a weak rebound momentum. The overall market remained in a low consolidation pattern, with bulls' confidence gradually recovering...

Peak Season Expectations Hard to Boost Market, Stainless Steel Mill Cost-Price Inversion [SMM Analysis]

[SMM Analysis] September-October Peak Season Expectations Struggling to Boost Market; Stainless Steel Mill Costs and Prices Are Inverted This week, stainless steel finished product prices and production costs pulled back in tandem, with stainless steel mills already falling into a pattern of losses. Based on 304 cold-rolled products, the profit margin calculated using current raw material costs this week was -0.11%, while using inventory raw material costs it was -0.49%. On the nickel-based raw material side, high-grade NPI prices further declined and pulled back this week. Although the traditional September-October peak season is approaching, stainless steel mills had already completed their stockpiling for the peak season in advance. Coupled with the recent weakening of stainless steel prices, steel mill profits continued to narrow, and procurement activity remained generally sluggish. Moreover, high-grade NPI lacked cost advantages compared to stainless steel scrap, with prices generally in the doldrums. As of Friday this week, the delivered duty-paid price of 10-12% grade Indonesia high-grade NPI to Chinese ports fell by 4.5 yuan/nickel unit to 1,131.5 yuan/nickel unit. This week, stainless steel scrap prices pulled back on a weak note. Dragged down by both the SS futures trading at low levels and the weakening of high-grade NPI, spot and futures prices moved downward in tandem. Although the peak season is approaching and steel mills have increased production schedules, narrower profit margins and cautious procurement attitudes, combined with tax invoice issues disrupting the market, meant that support from just-in-time demand had already failed. Under multiple negative factors, even though stainless steel scrap has cost advantages, it could hardly change the weak pattern, and short-term market conditions are expected to continue consolidating on a weak note. As of Friday this week, the ex-tax price of mainstream 304 off-cuts in the Shanghai area fell by 150 yuan/mt to 10,300 yuan/mt. On the chromium-based raw material side, high-carbon ferrochrome prices remained stable this week. Current high-carbon ferrochrome transactions remained sluggish, ...

Stainless steel futures, spot prices and raw materials weaken simultaneously, the cost advantages of stainless steel scrap cannot offset weak trading [SMM Stainless Steel Scrap Market Weekly Review]

[SMM Stainless Steel Scrap Market Weekly Review] Stainless Steel Futures, Spot, and Raw Materials Weaken Simultaneously, Cost Advantages of Stainless Steel Scrap Cannot Offset Weak Transactions This week, prices of 304 stainless steel scrap off-cuts in east China declined, with the quotation range at 10,250-10,350 yuan/mt; prices of 304 stainless steel scrap off-cuts in Foshan also fell, with the price range at 10,150-10,450 yuan/mt. From a raw material production cost perspective, the cost of producing stainless steel entirely from stainless steel scrap is currently about 14,426.56 yuan/mt, while the production cost of fully using high-grade NPI reaches 14,885.76 yuan/mt, maintaining a certain cost price spread advantage between the two. This week, stainless steel scrap prices pulled back weakly overall. SS futures remained persistently low during the week, and the weak pattern in futures was continuously transmitted to the spot market, driving stainless steel finished product prices into the doldrums overall; the alternative raw material high-grade NPI also weakened and declined, forming a linked weak pattern among futures, spot, and raw materials. This directly dragged down stainless steel scrap prices, which also pulled back, and the overall market center continuously shifted downward. Even though stainless steel scrap still has economic advantages over high-grade NPI, cost support is limited and cannot reverse the market's weak trend. Overall, peak season expectations and production increases are difficult to offset multiple bearish pressures. Currently, the market is gradually approaching the traditional September-October peak season, and stainless steel mills' planned production in August has also increased, theoretically providing some support for rigid demand for stainless steel scrap. However, at this stage, stainless steel mills' smelting profits have narrowed significantly, their willingness to purchase and stockpile raw materials is generally weak, coupled with tight tax invoice issues in the industry...
