SHANGHAI, Nov 20 (SMM) – Inventories of refined nickel in the Shanghai bonded areas decreased slightly by 500 mt from a week ago and stood at 23,800 mt as of November 20, showed SMM data.

Hundreds of tonnes of nickel briquettes arrived this week, and some of them were directly shipped into domestic social warehouses. The goods were booked by end-user customers in advance and the rest will be shipped into bonded area next week. Nearly 500 mt of nickel plates were shipped from bonded area this week. It is reported that more nickel plating will be shipped from overseas to ports in East China and South China at the end of this month and early next month, and the inventories of bonded area are likely to pile up again.

[SMM Nickel Market Flash] Indonesia-Philippines Nickel Link Targets Ore Supply and Downstream Integration

One of the core objectives of the Indonesia-Philippines nickel corridor is to better connect Philippine ore resources with Indonesia’s downstream processing capacity. The report said the arrangement could strengthen feedstock security for Indonesia’s expanding HPAL and refining system, while giving the Philippines a faster route to benefit from higher-value regional exports through Indonesia’s processing hub. The initiative is also seen as a signal that Southeast Asia is seeking stronger bargaining power in the global nickel and EV battery supply chain.

[SMM Nickel Market Flash] Western Mines Intersects Higher-Grade Nickel Zones at Mulga Tank

Western Mines Group said hole MTD031 at the Mulga Tank Project also returned several higher-grade nickel intersections, including 6 m at 1.02% nickel from 259 m and 8 m at 0.81% nickel from 298 m. These intervals were also associated with elevated cobalt, copper, and platinum-palladium values. The results suggest deeper enriched zones may remain open and could support further delineation of higher-grade mineralisation.
