SHANGHAI, May 11 (SMM) – Nickel ore stocks at China’s five major ports stopped falling last week, Shanghai Metals Market data show.

Total inventories at the five ports, including Tianjin, Rizhao, Lanshan, Lianyungang and Jingtang, grew 200,000 tonnes to 10.65 million tonnes last week, according to SMM data.

The growth in inventories was due mainly to purchasing increases by Chinese NPI producers, especially for medium-grade ore
