The focus of the stainless steel market in 2023: 1. Changes in the cost of stainless steel raw materials. 2. The field of market demand improvement expanded and the sales volume changed. 3. Changes in the release rhythm of stainless steel production capacity in China and India. 4. Changes in stainless steel inventory and futures warehouse receipts. 5. The overall change of stainless steel in and out. It is expected that stainless steel will continue to fluctuate in a wide range, and the overall center of gravity is expected to move down compared with 2022, and it may be difficult for the high point to exceed the 2022 high point. The main fluctuation range of stainless steel futures is expected: 14,000-20,000 yuan/ton. From the perspective of the industry, the profit of stainless steel may be affected by changes in the value of raw materials and the increase in supply. It has slowed down. In 2023, it is expected that the domestic economic trend may show a change of first decline and then rise. Affected by this, the demand side of stainless steel is expected to recover and rebound.
On December 29, the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council issued an announcement stating that in order to enhance the linkage effect of the two resources in the domestic and international markets, from January 1, 2023, my country will implement a provisional import tax rate lower than the most-favored-nation tax rate for 1,020 commodities. . Among them, the provisional import tax rate for chestnuts, licorice and its products, large tires, sugarcane harvesters, etc. will be cancelled, and the most-favored-nation tax rate will be restored; in order to promote the transformation and upgrading of related industries and high-quality development, export tariffs on aluminum and aluminum alloys will be increased. From July 1, 2023, my country will also implement the eighth step of tax reduction on the MFN tax rate of 62 information technology products. After adjustment, my country's overall tariff level will drop from 7.4% to 7.3%.
Among them, stainless steel raw materials (ferro-nickel, ferrochrome), stainless steel ingots, slabs, billets and other stainless steel plate products are involved. The provisional import tax rate in 2023 is 0, which is the same as in 2022. The import of ferromolybdenum in 2023 is tentatively Tax rate of 1, same as 2022.
