Domestic stocks (except bonded warehouses) are about 38200 tons, including about 2200 tons of nickel beans and 36000 tons of nickel plates. Inventories fell 443 tons earlier this week, a slowdown from last week, mainly due to the arrival of Xinjiang Bofeng nickel in Changzhou Rongda, while warehouse receipts in Shanghai remained in a state of net outflow.
