Who is the next after LME soared by $400/MT? 304?

Last Friday, China released M2 data which shows better than expectation, plus the foreign market mostly has a slack financial policy, so the financial and commodity market is exciting. On Friday night, foreign finance and commodity ascended greatly in the stock. S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Index, NASDAQ were all increased by 1%, and NASDAQ created its new highest; US oil futures increased by 2.60%; LME copper increased by 2.10%.

After a short reallocation on the last Friday, A stock regains its upward trend. Until the closure at the noon, the SSE Composite Index has increased by 1.27%, and the Shenzhen Component Index has increased by 2.72%.

The stock and LME nickel boost, how about the stainless steel market? 
 
Stockout? But the 304 price rises not as high as expected.

Compared with last Friday, in the 304 stainless steel stock market on Monday(13th July), the price only increased by $7/MT, which is the same price as last Saturday. 


Summary:

Influenced by the slack financial policy around the world, the financial and commodity markets mostly show strong. Capitals are crazed about LME and stainless steel futures, the speculation seems will last for a while and the price will continue the upward trend. But for the stainless steel stock market, due to most of the resources are controlled by the mills, there are not many stocks in traders. The speculation is low in the stock market, so generally, the prices are adjusted along with the market.
