As of October 26, the average price of Ni 1.5% ore was $61.5/wmt on a CIF basis, down $1.9/wmt compared to the previous week. As of last Thursday, the Indonesian nickel ore quota issue has not been resolved. Because the downstream has completed its storage for winter and NPI prices keep dropping, domestic NPI manufacturers have a pessimistic outlook. This makes them fearful of high ore prices, causing stronger intentions to sell nickel ore by traders. As a result, nickel ore prices showed a downward trend last week. Nickel ore supply remains tight this year. Based on SMM research, after the National Day holiday, Indonesian mainstream NPI factories haven't bought new nickel ore, leading to decreased market transactions and a slight drop in nickel ore prices.
