Market Report (continued)
In spite of supply disruptions, cutbacks as a result of strikes and energy constraints and maintenance shutdowns that have cut around 70,000 metric tons from production capacity, nickel prices took a nosedive today. At last check, three month nickel was down .4445 cents a pound today, trading at $8.4708 a pound. This is down from $9.1626 a pound at the close last Friday. It would appear the decrease in nickel supplies is still not enough to offset weak stainless demand in the marketplace. The October surcharge should post around 1.4030 lb, resulting in approximately a 9.6 cent a pound decrease from September. Three month aluminum is trading at $1.2188 a pound on the LME today, down from $1.2402 a pound a week ago. Aluminum prices, down 14 cents a pound for September, should drop about another 6 cents a pound in October U.S. raw steel production totaled 2.087 million tons last week, up from the 2.075 million tons produced during the same week last year. The mills operated at an average capability utilization rate of 87.5%. Year-to-date the mills have produced 73.476 million tons of steel, at an average capability utilization rate of 88.7%, up from 71.712 million tons produced during the same period last year when mills operated at an average capability utilization rate of 86.1%. |
