The price of stainless steel scrap is generally determined by the demand of local factories for raw materials, so the price range of raw materials is uncertain. The whole year of 20 19 is a year of ups and downs for stainless steel people. Although everyone says that it is difficult to sell stainless steel all year round, the overall market is not as calm as 20 16-20 17.
However, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the futures nickel price and stainless steel price rose and fell many times, which gave sellers and manufacturers a lot of profit space, but also brought many uncertainties, so the result was that some people were happy and others were worried.
Looking back at the 20 19 stainless steel market, it is obvious that there are 2-3 ups and downs throughout the year. From February 2018,65438+304, the price of hot-rolled stainless steel is 13 100 yuan/ton, and it is 13800 by the end of 20 19+ 10. After the Spring Festival, prices began to fall all the way in February 12.
Extended data:
Experts believe that the recent rise in steel prices shows that the steel market is expected to change under the influence of favorable factors. Since the beginning of this year, the economy has been running smoothly, with positive changes and expectations getting better and better. In March, the purchasing managers' index (PMI) of China's manufacturing industry was 50.5%, which was 1.3 percentage points higher than that of the previous month and returned to the expansion range.
The policy of "steady growth" gradually landed, and infrastructure investment accelerated, which provided support for stabilizing steel demand. At present, with the arrival of the construction peak season, it is normal for the steel market to start.
