In November, the ongoing production increase of the Huafei project and the gradual arrival of some MHP eased raw material supply tightness. The MHP discount coefficient trended downwards, and falling nickel prices led to decreased raw material costs, weakening cost-side support. Along with continuous weak demand, nickel salt producers' firm pricing started to soften. Nickel sulphate prices began a consistent decline. The reduction in precursor production in November and halted purchases from refined nickel producers end could prolong the weak nickel sulphate market demand in November, suggesting overall weakness in November's nickel sulphate performance.
