China will likely see excess NPI supply in Q3

The Chinese market is expected to see an excessive supply of nickel pig iron (NPI) in Q3, following well-balanced demand and supply by end-May, as consumption from stainless steel mills may not be strong enough to sustain a draw in high-grade NPI inventories.

China NPI output fell 7.46% in February on coronavirus impact

High-grade NPI accounted for 35,800 mt in Ni content, down 6.89% from January, as the COVID-19 outbreak deterred shipments of adjuvant to high-grade NPI plants. Substantial production cut at stainless steel mills in February depressed prices of high-grade NPI, which added to cost pressure at NPI producers and promoted them to reduce output.
