[SMM Weekly report selected: nickel sulfate factory inventory bottomed out recent quotation intention with rising period nickel, but the price effect is limited] on Tuesday, nickel sulfate manufacturers showed an intention to raise the price, and the quotation for battery-grade nickel sulfate was raised to 23500 million yuan / ton range. However, as the price of the precursor is still low, it is difficult to accept the price increase. On Wednesday, the nickel sulfate plant lowered its high end to 24000 yuan / ton. Although there is a large increase in sales of new energy vehicles in Europe and the United States recently, due to the large inventory of battery factories in the first half of the year, the order situation of the precursor factory has not improved, and there is no sign of a rebound when the precursor price falls to the bottom.

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

The recent market is greatly affected by the capital side, although there has been a sharp correction in metal prices affected by the stock market on Thursday, but it has still maintained more gains since last week, and metal prices are still in a strong state under financial stimulus. Due to the lack of positive fundamentals, the room for nickel to continue to rise is limited, and heavy rains in Sulawesi, Indonesia, do not seem to have a significant impact on smelters at present, but the recent bull market with financial stimulus also needs to be cautiously bearish. It is expected that the high price of nickel will fluctuate next week, with 108000 yuan / ton in Shanghai nickel and 13150mi US $13700 / ton in Lunni.
