Statistics on stainless steel inventory trends in Wuxi Area (Unit: ton)
Among them, cold-rolled stocks decreased by 4.53% and hot-rolled stocks decreased by 6.22% from the previous period.
The main factors of the inventory decline:
- 01：
At the end of the month, some merchants took the initiative to clean up the inventory. And nickel market went sharply higher, which drove the domestic stainless steel price to increase. This factor stimulated some downstream purchases. In addition, some merchants had quite a lot of the stress of capital at the end of the month so that they promote to sell the goods, resulting in the stock inventory being consumed.
- 02：
The pre-inventory of the steel mills fell. Because at the end of the month, the agents have to complete pick up monthly mission quantity from their mills. That is to say, the short-term delivery of goods increased significantly, which led to a sharp drop in the pre-inventory of the steel mills.
At present, although stainless steel is in the off-season, the market performance was better than expectation at the end of June, which stimulated demand to a certain extent, resulting in digesting stocks. However, the current industry believes that the stainless steel rise is difficult to sustain, and late inventory digestion will slow down. The pressure of short-term inventory still exists.
