Amid the global energy transition, geopolitical tensions and trade policy fluctuations are reshaping the supply and pricing of nickel, cobalt, and lithium. In 2025, Indonesia's expanded nickel capacity has driven global supply to a record high, while slowing stainless steel demand exacerbates the supply-demand imbalance, pushing nickel prices lower. In October 2025, the APAC 10th Ni-Cr-Mn Stainless Steel & New Energy Conference 2025 in Xiamen will gather industry experts to discuss market trends and strategies. A price seminar on nickel will also refine SMM's quotation mechanism to enhance its global influence.
Why Xiamen - Xiamen is an Important Commodity Trading Center in China
Fujian is a major hub for stainless steel and crude steel production, with a strong downstream industry. Xiamen hosts three leading supply chain firms—Xiamen Xiangyu, Xiamen ITG, and Xiamen C&D—and has a mature trade and investment environment for stainless steel. Its tourism resources and eco-friendly setting also enhance the conference experience.
