The price of stainless steel scrap is going down

In the first days of 2023, the nickel price was $31.2/kg, on June 28, the nickel price was only $19.85/kg.

STAINLESS STEEL SCRAP PURCHASING - is financially beneficial. There are plenty of metal buyers in every major city where you can easily sell stainless steel scrap or any other unnecessary items which contain stainless steel. The purchase prices depend on the buyer’s pricing policy, type or quantity and it is also influenced by global metal exchanges. Depending on the supply and demand of nickel, the price of nickel fluctuates, and so are the prices of stainless steel. In the event of changes in stock exchanges, recyclers of this metal react accordingly by adjusting the purchase prices of stainless steel to the buyers.
