It is reported that North Maluku Island, one of the main nickel producing areas in Indonesia, suffered another 7.2 magnitude earthquake on the 14th, causing market supply concerns, and Shanghai nickel rose sharply to break through the high level of the year. According to public information, North Maluku Island is one of the main producing areas of nickel resources in Indonesia, including Weda Bay, Indonesia's largest nickel-iron increment project in 2020. In addition, Jinchuan and Newcrest Mining in Indonesia also have minerals here. The earthquake, which is so close to the main producing areas, is bound to cause some supply worries.

In addition, Indonesia's recent announcement of a new mining ban plan, the Philippines' second mining review and other good news may boost bulls' enthusiasm in the short term. Indonesia's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources confirmed that Indonesia is expected to stop exporting raw ore in 2022 because 41 smelters are nearing completion and will be operational in the short term. Earlier, in 2009, after the Indonesian government issued decree No. 4, Indonesia should have stopped the export of raw ore. But given the situation of smelters in Indonesia at the time, the ban had to be delayed. But now, as domestic smelters begin to operate on a large scale, superimposed downstream terminals can digest smelting products, so Indonesia has formed a complete supply chain.

In terms of the black system, the black system has come out of the trend of bottoming out and rebounding. Iron ore closed up 2.34% at 895; thread closed up 0.95% at 4030; hot coil rose 1.17% to 3898; coking coal closed down 0.14% at 1398; coke closed up 2.82% at 2167.5 (yuan / ton). In terms of oil prices, crude oil closed down 0.81% at 454.5 (in yuan / ton).

GDP data released within a day showed that China's GDP grew by 6.2 percent in the second quarter to 45.1 trillion yuan; retail sales of consumer goods totaled 3.3878 trillion yuan in June, an increase of 8.8 percent over the same period last year; investment in real estate development in the first half of the year was 6.1609 trillion yuan, an increase of 10.9 percent over the same period last year; national investment in fixed assets (excluding farmers) was 29.91 trillion yuan, an increase of 5.8 percent over the same period last year. In June, the added value of industries above scale increased by 6.3% in real terms compared with the same period last year.
