Core Viewpoints of the Report - It is expected that Shanghai nickel will undergo wide - range adjustments in the short term, with attention on the MA10 support, in the range of 140,000 - 150,000 yuan/ton. Stainless steel futures prices are expected to adjust strongly, with the range to be concerned about 14,000 - 15,000 yuan/ton [9] 3. Summary of Each Section 3.1 Week - ly Highlights Summary 3.1.1 Shanghai Nickel - This week, the main contract of Shanghai nickel rose first and then fell, with a weekly increase of +1.62% and an amplitude of 9.79%. As of the end of this week, the closing price of the main contract was 141,350 yuan/ton [9] - Macroscopically, the People's Bank of China decided to lower the re - lending and rediscount rates by 25 basis points, and there is still room for reserve requirement ratio and interest rate cuts this year. In the US, the number of initial jobless claims last week decreased to 198,000, and the US dollar rebounded to a more than one - month high [9] - Fundamentally, the Philippines has entered the rainy season, and the import volume of nickel ore is in a downward trend. Indonesia plans to significantly cut the RKAB quota to 2.5 - 2.6 billion tons next year, causing market concerns about raw material supply. It is expected that the supply will be relatively loose in the first quarter. The production of nickel iron in Indonesia remains high, and the quantity flowing back to China is expected to increase. The domestic refined nickel production capacity is large, and recently the nickel price has rebounded, with profits repaired. It is expected that the subsequent production of refined nickel will rise again. In terms of demand, the cost of nickel iron for stainless steel has decreased, the profit of steel mills has improved, and the production volume is expected to be at a high level.
