The following is an excerpt from the weekly report of the SMM nickel industry chain:

From the data of the balance sheet, the domestic primary nickel has always been in a state of excess supply in the past half a year. Due to the reduction of domestic nickel pig iron production, the surplus will decrease obviously, but because Indonesia's nickel pig iron import is not expected to decrease significantly at present, coupled with the abundance of other nickel raw materials, it can make up for the reduction, and the primary nickel is still in a state of surplus.

The improvement in fundamentals depends on the limited extent to which the supply side can pull, and needs the support of strong consumption. According to SMM estimates, domestic consumption fell by 10 per cent in the first quarter of 2020. this is still in China's relatively smooth progress in the fight against the epidemic, domestic demand has not yet fully recovered, the impact of the overseas epidemic has been coming one after another, and the relatively optimistic expectations for the second quarter have been difficult to maintain.
