APAC Stainless Steel Conference 2024

By: Philippine Resources October 19, 2024

As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, the metal market may face intermittent disturbances. Expectations of rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve are significantly impacting metals like nickel, with the market anticipating the first cut in September. If successful, this could help nickel mitigate the oversupply that has pressured prices.

Indonesia plays a crucial role in the global nickel market, with its supply, demand, and policies greatly affecting trends. Recent developments regarding the RKAB regulation have tightened Indonesian nickel ore supply, which previously fueled bullish sentiment. How Indonesia navigates the healthy development of its raw material market through effective policies and the nickel price index will be critical moving forward. In the past year, the Shanghai Metals Market (SMM) and the Indonesian Nickel Miners Association (APNI) launched the Indonesian Nickel Industry Index Price, attracting significant industry attention.

Earlier this year, nickel ore prices surged, bolstering FeNi and NPI prices and providing substantial cost support for stainless steel. However, the stainless steel industry is now facing significant losses. Geopolitical conflicts and congested sea transportation have increased stainless steel consumption for ships and metal containers. Looking to the second half of the year, can stainless steel exports maintain their strong first-half performance? Additionally, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism presents challenges and opportunities for the steel industry. What other policies and trends will shape the future of the stainless steel market?

To help upstream and downstream customers in the nickel-chromium-manganese stainless steel industry better understand and assess market trends, SMM will hold the APAC (9th) Stainless Steel Industry Conference 2024 in Fujian, China. Co-hosted by SMM and Tsingtuo Group, this conference will gather over 400 guests from the entire Ni-Cr-Mn stainless steel supply chain to discuss supply and demand dynamics, price trends, and market outlooks. The conference will also convene "global raw material sellers" and "international downstream buyers" to explore opportunities for global cooperation in supply and demand and to jointly pursue sustainable development in the industry.

SMM sincerely invites you to attend this significant event and be part of this grand gathering!
