Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The raw material cost has decreased due to the PNBP policy in Indonesia restricting nickel resource supply and increasing costs, while the high production of Indonesian ferronickel is expected to increase the return volume to China and lead to an obvious decline in ferronickel prices. The supply pressure of stainless steel is expected to increase as steel mills' production profits are restored, and production schedules are likely to rise at the end of the traditional consumption peak season with expectations of infrastructure and real - estate demand. However, the downstream demand shows a weak peak - season characteristic, with low market purchasing willingness and general inquiry and transaction performance, resulting in a slight increase in the national stainless - steel social inventory. Technically, with increasing positions and falling prices, the short - selling sentiment is strong, showing a downward - channel trend, and the support at 12,400 should be watched. It is recommended to wait and see or adopt a strategy of short - selling on rallies, paying attention to the MA30 pressure [2].

Industry News - In October, policies to expand domestic demand continued to show effects. Driven by the National Day and Mid - Autumn Festival holidays, the CPI rose 0.2% month - on - month and 0.2% year - on - year. The core CPI excluding food and energy prices rose 1.2% year - on - year, with the increase expanding for the 6th consecutive month. The PPI turned from flat to a 0.1% month - on - month increase in October, the first increase this year, and the year - on - year decline continued to narrow. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of the CPI report and suspended offline data collection. Although the market still expects a rate cut in December, the lack of official data may give policymakers worried about inflation a reason to keep interest rates unchanged next month. China's exports in October denominated in US dollars decreased 1.1% year - on - year, while imports increased 1% year - on - year. Soybean imports reached a record high for the same period, while the import volume and price of refined oil, natural gas, and coal both declined, and rare - earth exports ended three consecutive months of decline.
