SMM, June 6 / PRNewswire-Asianet /-

According to market news, the Indonesian government will re-examine all mining companies that have received export quotas for nickel mines, and if they do not have the corresponding nickel smelting capacity, they will withdraw their export quotas for nickel mines.

According to SMM data, Indonesia is currently shipping a total quota of 27.39 million wet tons, all of which are currently being shipped. Among them, the smelting projects of Indo, Tiran, ACM, Solway, Ceria, Anfang Brother, TPI and other mining enterprises can not meet the standard, involving a quota of about 10 million wet tons.

According to SMM research, the news was released after the Indonesian general election, but has not yet been strictly implemented, and most nickel mining agents said they had not received the relevant news.

As Indonesia is during the Eid al-Fitr holiday this week, the details will not be clear until after the end of Eid al-Fitr, and SMM will continue to follow up.

[SMM Nickel Flash News] Based on the cash cost of high-grade NPI calculated using nickel ore prices from 25 days earlier, profits at high-grade NPI smelters came under pressure during the week, with the sector as a whole remaining in a state of losses or marginal profitability. It is expected that next week, prices of auxiliary materials on the raw material side may remain flat, while the decline in nickel ore prices will likely be limited. High-grade NPI prices will still be under pressure amid back-and-forth negotiations between upstream and downstream, and smelter profits will be unlikely to see any significant improvement.
