With a significant reduction in the RKAB quota in Indonesia next year, ferronickel production will face pressure to cut output. On the supply side, although the production profit of stainless steel plants has improved and the traditional peak demand season has passed, the actual decrease in production is expected to be limited, and supply pressure persists. On the demand side, downstream demand is gradually entering the off - season, and the decline in stainless steel exports is starting to show its impact. Market purchasing willingness is low, and overall inquiries and transactions are average. However, due to the limited supply of goods in the market, the national social inventory of stainless steel has maintained a seasonal slight decline.
