Stay tuned for the winner! Roberto, president of Star Stainless Screw Company, traced the price of nickel from a peak in September 2015, then plummeting to a low in February 2016. The February nickel price of $3.77 per pound was even below the $4.39 low of December 2008. Nickel is the fifth most common element on earth � following iron, oxygen, silicon and magnesium, Roberto explained. More than two-thirds of nickel goes into stainless steel production. An uncertain factor in coming months is a possible reduction in nickel production in the Philippines where the new president, Rodrigo Duterte, is focusing on environmental compliance in mining, Roberto said. Production will continue to lag in 2016 and the low nickel prices limit investment in new capacity, Roberto pointed out. Economists predict a 1.8% global output increase in 2017 with higher nickel prices and moderate demand increase. An immediate issue is importers �rushing to get product on the water before the Chinese New Year� when factories in China and Taiwan close. The price of steel in China has direct impact on fasteners and by the end of summer the steel cost was 31% higher than at the end of 2015, Sakhuja noted. There was a surplus of steel and flat pricing at the beginning of 2016, she noted. But in preparation for the G20 meetings held in September, China reduced production plus Europe started buying steel from China. Importers can provide distributors with information on freight and steel prices so salespeople �have the tools to educate customers,� Sukhuja said.
