As of March 24, the nickel ore inventories at Chinese ports dropped 185,000 wmt from a week earlier to 6.41 million wmt.

SHANGHAI, Mar 24 (SMM) - As of March 24, the nickel ore inventories at Chinese ports dropped 185,000 wmt from a week earlier to 6.41 million wmt. The total Ni content stood at 50,000 mt. The port inventory across seven major Chinese ports stood at 2.99 million wmt, 235,000 wmt lower than last week. Nickel ore prices crashed this week on the falling NPI prices, but buyers still expected a lower ore price. Traders and mines wrestled over the prices. NPI plants were reluctant to purchase due to the dropping NPI prices. The rainy season in the Philippines did not end, thus the port inventory will fall.

The nickel HMA for the second half of September was set at USD 16,698.00/mt, down USD 35.33/mt, or 0.21%, from USD 16,733.33/mt in the first half of September. The cobalt HMA was USD 52,704.33/mt, while the iron ore HMA was USD 1.47/mt and the chrome ore HMA was USD 6.37/mt. Following the revised nickel ore HPM formula under Kepmen ESDM No.363.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2026, which took effect on September 15, 2026, the nickel ore HPMs are as follows: · Ni 1.2%: USD 24.89/wmt, down USD 20.77/wmt, based on the new HPM formula for Ni 1.2% grade and below. · Ni 1.3%: USD 49.20/wmt, down USD 0.69/wmt. · Ni 1.4%: USD 53.83/wmt, down USD 0.24/wmt. · Ni 1.5%: USD 58.50/wmt, down USD 0.25/wmt. · Ni 1.6%: USD 63.38/wmt, down USD 0.26/wmt.

【SMM Nickel Flash News】Indonesia Revises Nickel Ore HPM Formula, 1.2% Ni HPM Falls 45%

Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) has issued Kepmen ESDM No.363.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2026, effective September 15, revising the nickel ore HPM formula introduced under Kepmen No.144.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2026. The latest revision mainly lowers the nickel correction factor (CF) and cobalt coefficient for low-grade limonite. For 1.2% Ni ore, the revised HPM is $24.89/wmt, down $20.08/wmt, or 45%, from $44.97/wmt under the previous formula. The revised HPM is also below SMM’s current delivered price of $27/wmt. At a 14% royalty rate, the royalty based on the revised HPM is approximately $3.48/wmt, compared with $3.78/wmt based on the actual transaction price. The adjustment is expected to narrow the gap between HPM and market prices and reduce the tax burden on low-grade limonite miners. The impact on HPAL plants’ actual raw material costs is expected to be limited, as market prices have already remained below the previous HPM.

[SMM Analysis] Indonesia Revises Nickel Ore HPM Once Again, Pulling Limonite Prices Toward Market Levels

Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) recently further revised the benchmark price (HPM) formula for nickel ore, under Kepmen ESDM No.363.K/MB.01/MEM.B/2026 which took effect on September 15, 2026. This revision specifically targets the two parameters that have had the greatest impact on the pricing of low-grade limonite used as feedstock for HPAL — the nickel correction factor (CF) for the 1.2% nickel grade range and the cobalt coefficient
