October, more than a large number of domestic stainless steel factory high carbon ferrochrome purchase price overall chain September slipped 100 yuan/50 base ton around, the price level of 8200 yuan ~8400 yuan/50 base ton. September, manganese factory generally unwilling to slash prices, most businesses began to maintain a very good price operation, the price of 10600 yuan/ton of stability near.

With the spread of good news last week, the high nickel iron market support gradually turned strong, prices continued to rise, last week, Zhangjiagang PU item will be high nickel iron purchase price increase of 50 yuan/NI to 930 yuan/NI (including tax to factory pay). In the supply of tightening expectations, the recent nickel iron market will be relatively strong operation. One side is the factory hand-held orders of calm, the other side is the traders and ready to market the procurement of chromium raw materials market trend, resulting in the national day after the high chromium products markets deadlock, is expected to the recent chrome iron market stability operation.
