SMM4 28: non-ferrous metals generally closed down today, even in recent days failed to continue to boost the market, as oil prices were once again Waterloo. However, Shanghai aluminum rose against the trend, up 0.93%. According to SMM, under the background that the production and maintenance capacity of the early electrolytic aluminum plant has not yet been fully restored, the arrival of aluminum ingots in East China, South China and Henan has continued to decline in the past two weeks. At the same time, commercial collection and storage news has recently appeared in Yunnan and Gansu, and short-term profit news has concentrated on the supply side. However, in terms of the pressure level of 13000 yuan / ton above, it is difficult to break through quickly for the time being. It is expected that there will still be great resistance in the range of 12800-13000 yuan / ton in the short term. It is necessary to pay attention to the follow-up actual consumption situation and the possible news of other provinces' collection and storage plans in the market. On the nickel side, the two largest Philippine nickel miners said on Tuesday that they expected to gradually resume mining and shipping in the country's main ore-producing areas from May 1.

According to SMM, the mines under the above two enterprises are mainly located in Suriname, and open up exports as scheduled. The two major restarts in the Philippines have been expected in the market, with little impact on nickel prices.
