Core Viewpoint - Stainless steel prices have seen a slight increase this week, but demand remains weak, leading to concerns about the market's ability to absorb supply pressure. The industry anticipates continued price fluctuations and is closely monitoring macroeconomic policies and production plans from steel mills [3][5]. Stainless Steel Market Analysis - Stainless steel futures prices rebounded slightly this week, with the main contract closing at 12,500, reflecting a 1.09% increase. However, trading volume decreased compared to the previous week, indicating a cautious market sentiment [3][4]. - The current market is characterized by weak demand, primarily driven by essential purchases, as the overall consumption power is insufficient to support prices. The inventory levels remain high, and the market is experiencing mixed performance in transactions [4][5]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - The stainless steel spot price increased by 50 yuan this week, but the market is still in a traditional off-season with declining downstream demand. Traders are under pressure to reduce prices for cash flow as year-end approaches [4][5]. - The macroeconomic environment has seen many monetary policies introduced, but fiscal policy implementation has been slow, limiting the stimulus effect on the real economy. The supply side is expected to ease as steel mills increase maintenance in December, potentially reducing supply pressure [4][5]. Inventory and Production Insights - The registered warehouse inventory for stainless steel on the Shanghai Futures Exchange decreased by 1,500 tons to 61,619 tons this week, indicating ongoing inventory reduction. However, the market's ability to digest inventory remains a concern [4][5].
