2. The price difference between nickel sulfate and electro-nickel has widened, and the profit situation of using nickel sulfate to produce electro-nickel is optimistic, coupled with the anti-corruption problem in Indonesia. The mining section quota issue in the belt has not been implemented for a long time. Electro-nickel production companies are worried about raw material supply problems and are more active in purchasing nickel sulfate;
3. The Precursor steel just needs to be stocked;
4. The shipping schedule issue has caused the current MHP supply to be tight, and the coefficient price goes upward. In summary, the current cost side and fundamentals are providing stronger support for nickel sulfate prices.
