SHANGHAI, Jun. 28 (SMM) --

Nickel Ore

According to China Customs, China's imports of nickel ore were 2.01 million mt in May, up 9.05% MoM and up 114.39% YoY. China's imports of laterite nickel ore were 1.99 million mt in May, including 1.09 million mt from the Philippines, up 132.5% YoY, as well as 898.68 kt from Indonesia, up 125.15% YoY.  These increases in imports were in line with SMM predictions, and the steady MoM growth is mainly due to higher imports of laterite nickel ore. The steady expansion of NPI capacity in China is driving up demand for nickel ore, with many NPI producers preferring to directly import nickel ore themselves, resulting in a large amounts of nickel ore arriving at ports in May.  According to SMM data, total inventories of nickel ore in Lianyungang, Rizhao, Lanshan, and Tianjin ports were 8.8 million mt one week before the Dragon Boat Festival.  It is expected that imports of nickel ore will remain high in June.

Refined Nickel

According to data from China Customs, China's imports of refined nickel in May were 10.72kt, down 35.80% MoM.  Since domestic nickel prices remained RMB 20,000-30,000/mt higher than LME nickel prices during April, traders were importing cautiously. In this context, imports of refined nickel in May were down significantly from April.
