Stainless Steel and Nickel Price Trends

Stainless and nickel price trends fluctuated much more than carbon steel throughout . The LME nickel squeeze greatly strained both the nickel and stainless steel markets. Indeed, LME nickel prices skyrocketed by almost $25,000 per metric ton back in March. Soon after, the rally cooled down again, eventually bottoming out in July. Come November, prices bounced back up, leaving markets a bit unsure of what to expect in .

The stainless and nickel price index began the year by edging up a slight 1.8%. With prices rising, buyers began pushing up their stock levels. Russia was also surrounding Ukraine, preparing for what appeared to be a full-scale invasion. Knowing such an event would dramatically affect nickel markets, buyers and sellers began watching the situation very closely.

In mid-January, LME inventories began plummeting. This led to the nickel price index surging to an 11-year high. The lack of inventory caused prices and surcharges to skyrocket. By March, the LME suspended nickel trading completely for several days. The average nickel price blew through the roof to nearly $50,000 per metric ton within only a few hours. Buyers everywhere panicked, and purchased as much nickel as possible to save their own inventories. Also, Russia had carried out its invasion of Ukraine in February. By March, Russian nickel and other Russian industrial metals became subject to serious sanctions due to the unprovoked, brutal invasion. The nickel market appeared grim.

Q2: The Rally Cools Down

After a staggering 25.1% increase in the stainless and nickel price index, things began to cool from March into April. Nickel trading finally resumed on the LME following the historic short squeeze, which saw nickel prices spike by more than 90% in mere hours. By May, prices had begun to recede a little bit.

However, in June, the LME nickel contract continued to lack liquidity. This harmed price discovery, making it more and more difficult to track prices. In turn, many buyers encountered issues mitigating price risk. Despite all this, prices were finally starting to consolidate.

Stainless and Nickel Price Trends: Q3 of

July&#;s stainless and nickel price index came as a bit of a shock. Prices were showing sudden weakness with no apparent bullish anticipation. In total, prices dropped by 9.55%.

The nickel price index itself would remain damaged for months. In fact, it continued to slide in August, dropping by 8.86%. However, long-term trends soon began to look bullish again. One of the main factors was Indonesia announcing it would place taxes on nickel pig iron and ferronickel exports.

Indeed, in September, prices began flattening a bit. However, a new problem also presented itself: too much inventory. Stainless cold rolled imports rose continuously throughout , peaking between April and June. Buyers purchased en masse after the March LME nickel squeeze.

Q4: Nickel Prices Bounce

In October, the stainless and nickel price index rose by 3.35%. This brought nickel to about $21,000 per metric ton on the Nickel LME Primary 3 Month. By November, nickel and stainless began rallying again. However, suppliers remained flush with inventory.

In December, prices appeared bullish yet again, with a 7.3% rise in the index. This leaves the Q1 price outlook appearing more bullish than bearish. And while volumes are steady at the moment, nickel contracts are historically volatile. We saw this proved throughout . Therefore, prospective buyers should keep all eyes on price forecasting to mitigate price risk.

Nichrome alloy is also known as nickel-chrome, nickel-chromium alloy, chromium-nickel alloy, nickel chromium lump, nickel chromium powder, etc. Nichrome alloy can be defined as an alloy consisting of various alloys of nickel, chromium, and iron. Nichrome is one of the oldest forms of resistance heating alloy. Nichrome alloy generally consists of 80% nickel and 20% chromium by mass. Additionally, as per application, there are various other combinations of metals. Nichrome is silvery grey in color and has high melting point of about 1,400°celcius. Nichrome alloy has low manufacturing cost, besides strength, ductility, resistance to oxidation, and stability at high temperature. It also has good resistance power to flow the electrons. These unique properties of nichrome alloy make them suitable for applications such as hair dryers and heat guns. Nichrome alloy has high resistance power to oxidation. This property makes nichrome a suitable material for use of heating elements. Heating elements in household appliances are made of thick nichrome wire. During this process, nichrome is wound in coils to a certain electrical resistance before current is passed through to produce heat. When nichrome is heated in high temperature, it develops an outer layer of chromium oxide, unlike other metals which begin to oxidize when heated in air.
