Spot Premiums/Discounts: Today, the mainstream spot premiums for Jinchuan No.1 nickel were quoted in the range of 2,000-2,400 yuan/mt, with an average premium of 2,200 yuan/mt, down by 500 yuan compared to yesterday. Russian nickel premiums/discounts were quoted in the range of -300 to 0 yuan/mt, with an average of -150 yuan/mt, unchanged from yesterday.

Futures: In the morning, nickel prices fell by 40 yuan to 127,480 yuan, a decrease of 0.03%. Today's futures market saw a fluctuating downward trend, but futures prices remained at high levels. In terms of market transactions, as year-end approaches, downstream enterprises are expected to begin their holidays next week, leading to weak purchase willingness. Consequently, with sluggish market transactions, Jinchuan nickel premiums accelerated their decline today, with the average premium dropping to 2,300 yuan/mt. On the supply side, producers maintained high operating rates, ensuring ample supply. Under the surplus in supply and demand, Jinchuan nickel premiums/discounts are expected to decline further in the short term. Nickel prices are also expected to maintain a fluctuating trend.

Price Spread with Nickel Sulphate: Today, nickel briquette prices ranged from 126,900 to 127,250 yuan/mt, down by 125 yuan/mt compared to the previous trading day's spot prices. Nickel sulphate remains at a discount to refined nickel.

[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] EU Melt-and-Pour Rule Set to Reshape Stainless Steel Supply Chain Traceability
From October 1, 2026, EU importers must declare and substantiate where imported steel was originally melted and poured, typically through a mill test certificate containing the melt-and-pour country and heat number. The rules do not alter existing quota volumes or restrict market access from specific countries, and a one-year transition period allows alternative documentation where MTCs are unavailable. However, from October 2027, the Commission will incorporate collected melt-and-pour data into country-specific quota allocation decisions, with a further assessment by June 2028 on whether the melt-and-pour country should itself become a basis for quota access. The rules carry significant implications for Asia's stainless steel supply chains, where cross-border processing is widespread. Indonesia exported approximately 330,000 tonnes of stainless steel slabs to Italy in 2025, with EU-bound shipments already exceeding 123,000 tonnes this year; as slabs currently fall outside trade measure scope, the route of importing Indonesian semi-finished slabs for local processing may face greater scrutiny as melt-and-pour traceability deepens.

【SMM Noticias de Níquel】Indonesia confirma los detalles de implementación de la flexibilización del DHE SDA
Indonesia ha confirmado los detalles de implementación del Artículo 18A del Reglamento Gubernamental (PP) N.º 21/2026, que entró en vigor para las declaraciones aduaneras de exportación (PPE) a partir del 1 de septiembre de 2026. El gobierno identificó a 64 exportadores mineros, aproximadamente el 12 % de los 537 exportadores revisados, que actualmente cumplen los criterios de elegibilidad. Los exportadores elegibles deben estar constituidos como PT indonesias, operar en el sector minero y tener al menos un accionista de los países designados —Estados Unidos, China, Hong Kong, Australia o Canadá— con una participación mínima del 10 %. La lista de elegibles se revisará mensualmente. El gobierno también ha designado 15 bancos de divisas para la colocación de DHE SDA conforme al Artículo 18A, que comprenden cinco bancos estatales y diez bancos no estatales. Esto permite a los exportadores elegibles colocar las DHE SDA requeridas en bancos no estatales designados, lo que brinda mayor flexibilidad en la gestión de los ingresos de exportación.
