SHANGHAI, Sep 12 (SMM) – Owing to a continuous rise in output of a smelter in northwest China and a smelter in East China, Chinese refined nickel output totalled 21,800 mt in August, up 0.93% MoM and 40.65% YoY, in line with expectations. The refined nickel output may total 23,000 mt in September, up 0.55% MoM and 49.35% YoY, hinging on persistently elevated output of a smelter in northwest China and full capacity of refined nickel units of a smelter in North China. Overall, refined nickel output is expected to keep hiking in 2023.
