As of November 4, the inventory of nickel ore across Chinese ports increased by 543,000 wmt to 9.095 million wmt compared with last Friday.

SHANGHAI, Nov 4 (SMM) - As of November 4, the inventory of nickel ore across Chinese ports increased by 543,000 wmt to 9.095 million wmt compared with last Friday. The total Ni content stood at 71,000 mt. The total inventory at seven major ports across China stood at 4.99 million wmt, 263,000 wmt higher than last week. The rainy season began in the main mining areas in the Philippines in October, but the nickel ore stockpiled by NPI plants before the rainy season gradually arrived at ports, thus the port inventory increased. At the same time, the output growth of domestic NPI plants was limited in October and their in-plant inventories of nickel ore grew, slowing down the destocking of port inventory. The short-term port inventory of nickel ore will burgeon slightly.

【SMM Flash News】Philippines Temporarily Reverts to Euro-II Fuel to Combat Energy Crisis

Faced with a severe energy supply crunch and skyrocketing prices triggered by the Middle East conflict, the Philippine Department of Energy has authorized the temporary use of "dirtier" Euro-II petroleum products, which contain ten times more sulfur than the current Euro-IV standard, specifically for older vehicles, industrial plants, and the shipping sector. This emergency measure follows diesel prices breaching 100 pesos per liter for the first time, a crisis exacerbated by the country's limited refining capacity and the 1998 Oil Deregulation Law. As the region grapples with the obstruction of the Strait of Hormuz, the Philippines joins neighbors like Vietnam and Thailand in pivoting back to high-emission fuels and coal to ensure domestic energy security amidst the global turmoil.
