SHANGHAI, Oct 9 (SMM) –

In September 2023, Indonesia's NPI output was 120,200 mt in nickel content, up 2.65% MoM and 19% YoY, bringing total output in 2023 so far to 1.0033 million in nickel content, up 19.8% YoY. As of early October, Indonesia's review of nickel ore quotas and illegal nickel mining continued. Nickel ore supply crunch in Indonesia lingered. Although output of high-grade NPI in physical content of some local makers hiked, their nickel grade crept down. As high prices of high-grade nickel matte deterred buyers, some producers switched to NPI production in September, thereby pushing up high-grade NPI production in Indonesia. Projected Indonesia's NPI output in October will be 120,100 mt in nickel content, down 0.1% MoM, but up 13.6% YoY.

【SMM Flash News】Indonesia's HPM Forecasted to Decrease 1.37% in Early April

SMM forecasts a marginal softening in the Indonesian domestic nickel ore benchmark (HPM) for the first half of April 2026, with prices expected to decline by 1.37%. This downward adjustment is primarily driven by a $236.56/dmt drop in the HMA, which is projected to settle at $17,093/dmt. Based on an MC35% calculation, the revised HPM targets across key grades are as follows: • Ni 1.2%: USD 17.33/wmt (↓ $0.24) • Ni 1.6%: USD 30.22/wmt (↓ $0.42) • Ni 1.7%: USD 34.00/wmt (↓ $0.47) • Ni 1.8%: USD 38.00/wmt (↓ $0.53) • Ni 2.0%: USD 46.66/wmt (↓ $0.65)
