Customers often ask why the price of 304 stainless steel always changes. Is your dealer deliberately raising the price? In fact, the price increase of 304 stainless steel is not the fault of dealers. There are three factors that affect the price of stainless steel. One is the cost price of stainless steel raw materials; the other is the supply and demand of stainless steel market; the third is the indirect control of stainless steel price by some large enterprises.

First of all, the composition of stainless steel, that is, stainless steel raw materials

Stainless steel is a kind of high alloy steel which can resist corrosion in air or chemical corrosive medium. His representative steel grades are 13 chromium steel 1Cr17 (430) and 18 chromium nickel OCr18Ni9. The main raw materials of stainless steel are iron, chromium Cr and nickel Ni. The price of these raw materials plays a decisive role in the price of stainless steel. The rise in the price of raw materials will support the price of stainless steel, on the contrary, form pressure, or become a driving force. Therefore, to pay attention to the stainless steel market, we must pay attention to the global nickel price, especially the LME nickel price trend, as well as the global iron ore, molybdenum price trend and the latest developments, as well as the price trend of other non-ferrous metals. Through LME, Comex and domestic Shanghai Futures Exchange, investors can know the latest development of non-ferrous metals at the first time and predict the price trend of stainless steel. Of course, you can also get more information through the stainless steel trading center platform and its website.

The second is the inventory relationship

The relationship between supply and demand has been constantly guiding the price, and inventory is a good reflection of the current market supply and demand. Oversupply, stainless steel prices fell, large inventory backlog. Supply exceeds demand, prices rise, inventory is very tight.

If the price of a certain series of stainless steel is too high, there will be substitutes for this series in the stainless steel market. Substitutes generally have many advantages, such as low price, cheap materials, superior performance and so on. Therefore, the emergence of substitutes will also cause price fluctuations. This is particularly true in futures markets.

National economic policy, National Foreign Relations and major changes in national policies, such as if the country attaches great importance to a certain industry, or carries out anti-dumping against a certain country, joins the WTO and so on, these factors also have a huge impact on prices.

Finally, some monopolies or monopolies jointly control the price

The indirect control of some large enterprises also has a partial impact on the price of stainless steel.

In short, in order to survive in this industry, every investor should polish his eyes, carefully analyze the factors in all aspects, and achieve six ways of vision and all directions of listening. Before purchasing, consumers also need to compare their products, find the right opportunities, make decisive moves, and find the right steel traders for cooperation, because the price may soar the next day, and of course it may fall, so whether they can judge accurately depends on the comprehensive analysis of the above three factors.

I believe all stainless steel friends and I often encounter some unreasonable inquiry, such as: 304 stainless steel plate how much is a ton? When it comes to this kind of question, we basically have no way to answer it, because we don't know the specific requirements and don't ask the key points.

This kind of question is like being asked how much a kilo of fruit and how much a ton of grain costs. There is no way to answer it because there is no key point.

When meeting this kind of customers, I will basically take the initiative to guide them. For example, I will ask them what thickness and specification they want? Hot rolling or cold rolling?

Ask these questions clearly, combined with the price of lunni on that day, we can make a quotation. When quoting, we suggest to refer to the theoretical weight table of stainless steel plate, so that we can quickly and accurately quote the price to customers, and increase the transaction opportunity.

In fact, many times, it's not that customers don't want to make the problem clear, it's just that customers don't understand the stainless steel industry, so as a qualified stainless steel salesman, we must be patient and sincere to understand the real needs of customers, help customers solve problems and guide customers, so as to make our business better and better!

In the face of customer consultation, the time is usually short, and we need to answer the customer's questions immediately. Therefore, we must be familiar with these calculation methods in order to get a smooth answer.

If the customer does not tell the size of the stainless steel plate when consulting, the default is the normal size of 4 * 8 feet, that is: 1.22m * 2.44m.
