[SMM Nickel Flash] July 31 news: Recently, due to Indonesia's rare earth-related detection policies, shipments of high-grade NPI from Indonesian ports have been restricted. According to SMM, LS inspection reports are currently being issued in batches, and high-grade NPI at the ports has been gradually released since mid-week. This shipping suspension only briefly disrupted the pace of shipments, with limited impact on overall supply and demand in the high-grade NPI market.
