On June 21, nickel ore inventory across the national ports in China increased slightly by 121,000 wmt WoW to 7.959 million wmt. The metal content totalled 62,510 mt. Among them, the inventory at the seven major ports was 4.321 million wmt. Last week, the domestic Philippine nickel ore market continued to be sluggish due to the weak downward trend in domestic NPI prices. In Indonesia, the purchase appetite for Philippine medium-grade nickel ore remained as active as before. It is expected that in the short term, the proportion of Philippine medium-grade nickel ore purchased by the Indonesian market will remain relatively high.
