SMM1, March 2: according to the latest news, heavy rain in Jakarta, Indonesia, on New year's Eve, resulting in sudden floods and landslides, the death toll increased to at least 21 people. Heavy rains from the evening of December 31 last year to the morning of the first day of the New year caused severe floods. More than 19000 people have been evacuated to temporary shelters and hundreds of local areas have lost power, possibly the worst flooding in Jakarta in nearly seven years.

It is reported that many roads in Jakarta are flooded and vehicles are impassable. Rail traffic has also been affected, with parts of the railway flooded in Greater Jakarta and a number of train services disrupted. According to Indonesian Anti-disaster Agency officials, the water level in downtown Jakarta is between 30 cm and 70 cm, with some areas as high as 120 cm. Jakarta's Halim airport has been temporarily closed since 00:30 on January 1. Flights in and out of Sukarno Hada International Airport were not affected, but express trains at the airport were suspended.

Many people were evacuated in waist-deep water. Disaster response departments at all levels have organized a number of rescue teams to use kayaks to rescue victims besieged by floods and relocate them to temporary disaster relief sites. Indonesian President Joko has instructed agencies to cooperate fully to ensure the safety of the affected population while resuming the operation of major infrastructure and airports as soon as possible. The Indonesian Meteorological Bureau predicted that the rain is expected to last for three days.

The rainy season in Indonesia begins in late November and Jakarta is often hit by floods during the rainy season. Indonesia has entered a rainy season that will last for months. As a result of the disrepair of the urban drainage system and the rapid increase in the amount of water coming from the upper reaches of the river that passes through the city, Jakarta floods and streets are flooded every time it rains for a long time.

According to SMM research, at present, some people in the industry reaction that a small number of nickel pig iron ships are blocked, the domestic market has not yet responded to this, the industry is also mostly in the wait-and-see assessment of the impact, does not rule out the possibility of affecting the purchasing mentality of domestic steel mills, the specific situation SMM will continue to track.

[SMM Nickel Flash] Based on nickel ore prices from 25 days ago, smelter profits for high-grade NPI remained high this week. However, from the current raw material side, ore prices from both the Philippines and Indonesia increased, while auxiliary material prices saw a slight pullback, leading to an increase in the cash cost of producing high-grade NPI from spot ore. At the same time, high-grade NPI prices experienced some pullback, making it difficult for smelter profits to see sustained improvement.

[SMM Nickel Flash] This week, due to a sharp decline in futures triggering arbitrage selling, high-grade NPI prices fell significantly. However, after the selling activity subsided, upstream quotations and the market center gradually returned to normal levels, supported by cost factors. Looking ahead, as the Chinese New Year holiday approaches, market activity is expected to remain subdued, and high-grade NPI prices are projected to hover at highs with limited fluctuations.
