According to SMM research, pure nickel inventory in six regions across China stood at 17,397 mt, up 1,180 mt from December 1. In detail, the inventory of nickel briquettes remained unchanged, and that of nickel plates increased by 1,180 mt WoW. The market bottomed out and rebounded. According to SMM research, domestic nickel plate transactions improved last week. However, due to subsequent price fluctuations and lingering downstream uncertainties, coupled with the fact that downstream demand has not yet picked up and domestic nickel plate supply has not seen a significant reduction, inventory has accumulated slightly last week.
