2、 Market analysis
LUNI nickel inventory rose to a nine month high and closed down 1.52% overnight in a weak shock. On the supply side, the Philippines, New Caledonia and Guatemala will play an alternative role in nickel import, but they cannot fully meet the demand. In terms of demand, the domestic downstream procurement is becoming increasingly light, the consumption of stainless steel at the end of the year is light, and some steel plants and ferronickel plants reduce production and overhaul. Indonesia’s early ore ban has changed the supply pattern of nickel market, and domestic ferronickel production capacity has shifted to Indonesia.
