[SMM data] in June, the national output of electrolytic nickel was 15100 tons, and the smelters were stable and actively shipped.

SMM7, March 12:

In June 2020, the national output of electrolytic nickel was 15100 tons, an increase of 7.32 percent over the previous month and 20.03 percent over the same period last year. The total output in June was 1030 tons higher than that in May. Most domestic smelters are in a normal state of production; only the output of Shandong smelter and its production schedule for next month have declined, which is mainly restricted by the purchase of overseas raw materials. It is expected that the total domestic output in July will remain stable compared with the previous period.

With the strengthening of domestic nickel prices in early July, the willingness of electrolytic nickel smelters to ship goods has also increased. Gansu smelters have actively shipped goods locally, and at the same time, some goods have been sent to Shanghai one after another; Xinjiang smelters have also resumed shipments to the market after nickel prices have risen above 105000 yuan / ton.
