BEIJING, Dec.8 (Reuters) – Chinese stainless steel futures fell to their lowest level in more than three months on Wednesday, amid weak downstream demand and falling commodity prices raw.

The most actively traded stainless steel on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, for delivery in January, ended down 4.2% at 16,085 yuan per tonne, the lowest close since September 2.

“Stainless steel production slated for December is substantial, but downstream demand is weak,” GF Futures analysts wrote in a note, adding that lower prices for stainless steel ferro-chrome and scrap are reducing also costs in factories.
