Nickel prices to fall on soft demand
Nickel on the LME has continued to drop recently; nickel future price and spot market have also dropped to some US$21,200/ton, a new low level for the last two years.

The main reasons are that stainless steel output has being cut down in recent months, causing the demand of nickel to weaken, and the stocks to continue increasing to 46,860 tons.

South Korea’s Posco has cut output by 25,000 tons in July, and most of China’s mills have also cut the production in the third quarter amid weak demand.

Some dealers predicted that China’s stainless steel production this year will be around 8~8.5 million tons; it was previously expected to reach 9 million tons in 2008, compared to last year’s 7.5 million tons.

However the slide will be limited by high production costs, according to analysts.

What an astounding rally tin prices has witnessed in the recent past. A lesser-known metal has slowly climbed to new highs.

Scrap prices drop in Jiangsu, China
Scrap purchasing price in Jiangsu province China has started falling as two mills have dropped their buying price by up to RMB100/ton.

Scrap distributors from the region are frustrated, having experienced some losses since scrap prices started climbing at the beginning of 2008.

Domestic inflation and rising prices of raw materials, including the hiking of pig iron price which was dragged along by coke and iron ore, have also had a great impact.
