With the rapid development of steel industry, production capacity of Chinese stainless steel is predicted to exceed 9million tons in 2008 . China becomes No. 1 producing country of stainless steel and play great role to global market. Due to growing production, stainless steel has an excessive supply and prices of Ssteel has been fallen down . Some main Chinese Ssteel producers have to cut down their output by 30% from the second quarter. Even the production volume is still growing but the rate is obviously slowing down .Stainless steel output is about 1.97million mt by increased 20.7% in the 1Q of 2008 but by 72.5% in the same period of 2007.
Therefore, its demand for raw materials reduced relatively, which brought a result of dropping price of raw materials. Ferronickel, electrolytic nickel, ferrochrome, electrolytic manganese and steel scrap are main raw materials of stainless steel production. By the end of June, LME nickel price fell down by 29%, and many Nickel Pig Iron plants shut down ; Ferrochrome price also fell obviously since the third quarter from the highest RMB16,000/mt in the second quarter to RMB13,000/ mt in the early third quarter by 19% decreased ;The price of electrolytic manganese dropped from the highest RMB23,600/mt in second quarter to RMB19,500/mt in third quarter decreased by 17%. Moreover, export volume of electrolytic manganese Metal also reduced sharply compared with that in 2007. Only Stainless Steel Scrap has been stable due to shortage supply.
Has nickel price drop to the bottom? Can NPI plants continue their production? Will ferrochrome and chrome price increase again because of soaring price of chrome ore? How long has electrolytic manganese price remained flat? Will stainless steel output keep reducing? What is the global stainless steel and raw materials market in coming seasons? It is very necessary to arrange a special meeting to discuss above topics,and fortunately International Metallurgical Resources Association (IMRA) in connection with www.ferro-alloys.com , decided to co-organize “2008 China Stainless Steel & Raw Materials International Congress” in China.
We sincerely invite you to attend and hope you can get benefit from this Event.
