In 2024, before the US presidential election is settled, the metal market may be intermittently disturbed. The "Trump trade" once surged, causing the metal market to lose its luster. However, after the first debate in Hartford, the "Trump trade" cooled down, which also revitalized the metal market. The strength of the US Fed's rate cut expectations affects the performance of metals such as nickel. Currently, the market is almost certain that the Fed will implement the first rate cut of this round in September. If the rate cut is successfully implemented, can nickel leverage macro forces to change the situation where oversupply in the fundamentals leads to price pressure? Indonesia holds a pivotal position in the global nickel market. The supply and demand, production and sales situation of Indonesian nickel ore, as well as related policies, all affect the global nickel market trend. The RKAB issue led to tight supply of Indonesian nickel ore, which once ignited market bullish sentiment. How will Indonesia ensure the healthy development of the raw material market through policies and nickel price index in the future? Over the past year, Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) and the Indonesian Nickel Miners Association (APNI) jointly launched the Indonesian Nickel Industry Index Price, which has received high attention from the entire industry.
The nickel ore price was once very "hot" this year, making FeNI+NPI prices relatively strong, providing strong cost support for stainless steel. Currently, the stainless steel industry is experiencing significant losses. Frequent overseas geopolitical conflicts such as the Red Sea crisis and congested sea transportation have driven the growth of stainless steel consumption in ships and metal containers. In H2, can stainless steel exports continue the outstanding performance of H1? Additionally, the implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism has brought many challenges and opportunities to the steel industry. What are other policies and consumption highlights that will affect the stainless steel market trend in the future?
To help upstream and downstream industry chain customers better grasp and judge the trend of the nickel-chromium-manganese stainless steel industry, SMM will hold the APAC (9th) Stainless Steel Industry Conference 2024 in Fujian. This conference is co-hosted by SMM and Tsingtuo Group, gathering leading associations closely related to the development of the stainless steel industry, including the World Stainless Association, International Nickel Study Group, International Molybdenum Association, Indonesian Nickel Miners Association (APNI), Indonesian Stainless Steel Development Association, World Resources Institute Indonesia, British Stainless Steel Association, and the Malaysian Hardware, Machinery & Building Materials Dealers' Association. SMM will invite 400+ guests from the global nickel-chromium-manganese stainless steel industry chain to discuss the supply and demand dynamics, price trends, and market outlook of nickel, chromium, and manganese; stainless steel market analysis, sustainable development, and the latest technologies. The conference will also bring together the "global raw material sellers" and the "international downstream buyers " in Xiamen, Fujian, to discuss global supply and demand cooperation opportunities and jointly seek sustainable development of the industry.
During the conference, there will also be a Nickel Industry Price Seminar and an award ceremony for high-quality price submitters and traders in China's nickel stainless steel industry. After the conference, SMM will organize a free visit to the Tsingtuo (Qingshan) Stainless Steel Plant in Fujian.
Here, SMM sincerely invites you to attend the event and join the grand gathering!
