A stainless steel plant in east China raised its purchasing price of high-grade nickel pig iron this week by 10 yuan/mtu

SHANGHAI, Aug 24 (SMM) – A stainless steel plant in east China raised its purchasing price of high-grade nickel pig iron (NPI) this week by 10 yuan/mtu, SMM learned. Its purchasing price stood at 1,110 yuan/mtu delivered to plant with tax included. Procurement volumes exceeded 1,000 mt.

As of Friday August 24, the spot price of high-grade NPI averaged 1,097.5 yuan/mtu, compared with 1,080 yuan/mtu last Friday, SMM assessment showed.

Domestic environmental probes continued to grow uncertainty over supplies. Market concerns lingered despite SMM’s estimation that NPI output would rise 9% from July to 37,000 mt in nickel content in August, after the previous environmental review ended. In July, NPI output recovered 4% on the month to 34,000 mt in nickel content.

Ferronickel prices likely to rebound slightly amid lower prices of substitutional raw materials

SMM high-grade NPI average price on December 4 was 1,030 yuan/mtu (ex-factory, tax included), down 10 yuan/mtu on the week. The purchase prices of high-grade NPI moved between 1,020-1,045 yuan/mtu (delivered to factory, tax included). The willingness of restocking across steel plants have weakened along with the low stainless steel prices, which had dropped below the costs in all domestic ferronickel plants. This has led to lower transactions amid the ferronickel plants’ low intention of delivery.
