【SMM Flash News】Indonesia's HPM Forecasted to Decrease 1.37% in Early April
SMM forecasts a marginal softening in the Indonesian domestic nickel ore benchmark (HPM) for the first half of April 2026, with prices expected to decline by 1.37%. This downward adjustment is primarily driven by a $236.56/dmt drop in the HMA, which is projected to settle at $17,093/dmt. Based on an MC35% calculation, the revised HPM targets across key grades are as follows: • Ni 1.2%: USD 17.33/wmt (↓ $0.24) • Ni 1.6%: USD 30.22/wmt (↓ $0.42) • Ni 1.7%: USD 34.00/wmt (↓ $0.47) • Ni 1.8%: USD 38.00/wmt (↓ $0.53) • Ni 2.0%: USD 46.66/wmt (↓ $0.65)
