According to the latest customs data, China's nickel sulphate imports were 5,802 mt in nickel content in May, up 32% MoM and 1,011% YoY. The exports were 402 mt in metal content, down 55% MoM but up 63% YoY. The net imports were 5,400 mt in metal content, up 53% MoM and up 1,858% YoY. The increase in imports was brought by Indonesia, while nickel sulphate port arrivals from other countries held stable. Due to stable nickel sulphate production in Indonesia and higher port arrivals in May, the net imports in June are expected to decrease slightly.
