The stainless steel futures market has also been on the rise throughout the day, with a high of 14150 hit during the day. Although there was some fluctuation at high levels, the market still closed at a high level, playing a key reference role for the rise in spot prices. Despite the rise in futures, the spot market is mostly shouting about the rise, but there is still some transaction volume that gives the market's price rise some momentum.
