I. Price of Stainless Steel 304 Plate
Maybe many friends will encounter some unreasonable quotations when buying stainless steel and ask several companies to give different prices. In fact, the price of stainless steel 304 plate is not accurately positioned, because the quality of each place and store is different. So before buying, be sure to know the thickness you want to buy and what specifications you want. Only by determining your own needs can you know the exact price of stainless steel. Generally, the price of stainless steel ranges from 20,000 to 23,000 yuan per ton. Of course, the price is for your reference only, and the specific price should be determined according to the actual price.
Second, the three major factors affecting the price of stainless steel 304 plate
1, stainless steel raw materials
The raw materials of stainless steel play a key role in the price of stainless steel. If the price of raw materials rises, the price of stainless steel will also rise, so we should always pay attention to the stainless steel market, especially the price trend of LME nickel and other metals. If you want to buy it for investment, you can also get the latest information through LME, COMEX and China Shanghai Futures Exchange.
2. Inventory relationship
The relationship between supply and demand of stainless steel is also the price orientation of stainless steel. If the inventory is in short supply, it means that the stainless steel market is very good, which will lead to tight inventory. If the inventory exceeds the demand, the market is average and the price will come down. If the price of a certain series of stainless steel is always high, then there will be substitutes to replace this series. Substitutes are not only cheap in price and materials, but also superior in performance, which is more obvious in the futures market.
3. National Economic Policy and Enterprise Monopoly
If the country attaches great importance to an industry, or attacks an industry, it will also have a great impact on the price of stainless steel. Of course, there is another way for enterprises to unite to monopolize the price of stainless steel, which will also have a great impact on the stainless steel market.
