This is estimated to lower NPI output from Yangjiang in Jun by 500 mt in Ni content

SHANGHAI, Jun 21 (SMM) – Power supply to producers of nickel pig iron and stainless steel in Yangjiang of Guangdong province will be limited for 15-20 days, starting from Thursday June 20, due to a power line reconstruction, SMM learned.

A local NPI plant told SMM that this is expected to impact production by about 10%.

This is estimated to lower NPI output from Yangjiang in June by 500 mt in Ni content, as output in May came in at 5,000 mt in Ni content, which accounted for 1% of the nationwide total.

Exclusive: China's base metals output in October

China’s copper cathode output increased month on month in October, as there was basically no maintenance at smelters and as large-scale smelters maintained high production in Q4. Although domestic copper scrap was in short supply in October, smelters kept relatively ample stocks of blister copper. Furthermore, as the new secondary copper policy took effect from November 1, concerns over copper scrap supply were eased.
