Stainless Steel Market Sees Mixed Signals Amid Falling Nickel Prices

Via Metal Miner Nickel prices continued to the upside during the first half of March, taking a momentary pause from their long-term downtrend. However, prices found a peak by March 13, reaching their highest level since October 2023. Following that, the rally collapsed, and prices returned to the downside. Overall, nickel prices fell 5.56% month over month. The Stainless Monthly Metals Index MMI fell 3.16% from March to April.

This trend directly opposes markets like copper, which continue to witness inventory drawdowns ahead of an increasingly tight supply outlook.
