China's domestic stainless steel prices fall on weaker demand, nickel losses

China's domestic prices for stainless cold-rolled coil dropped slightly over the week ended Wednesday December 2 on reduced demand and a weaker nickel market.

The three-month nickel contract on the London Metal Exchange ended the Wednesday official session at $15,906 per tonne, down by $122 per tonne $16,028 per tonne a week earlier.

Falling nickel prices led some stainless steel buyers to slow down their procurement rates and ask for lower prices.
