SHANGHAI, Apr 12 (SMM) - Nickel ore inventory at Chinese ports dropped 893,000 wmt from the beginning of March to 6.11 million wmt as of March 31. The total Ni content dipped 7,000 mt to 48,000 mt. In March, nickel ore arrivals at ports stood low, and NPI plants still picked up cargoes from the ports despite the falling NPI prices and output. It is expected that with the increase in nickel ore shipments in April, the port inventory of nickel ore will decrease slowly.
