SHANGHAI, Mar 20 (SMM) - Last Friday, the average price of Ni 1.5% ore slumped to $62/wmt on a CIF basis. Nickel ore shipments from the Philippines remained low. On the demand side, the prices of high-grade NPI fell further to 1,200 yuan/mtu, thus the NPI manufacturers and traders were not willing to ship goods. At the same time, NPI plants which used high-priced raw materials held a wait-and-see sentiment in anticipation of a further decline in ore prices. Last week, traders generally lowered the quotes by $6-7/wmt.
