SHANGHAI, Nov 27 (SMM) – Inventories of refined nickel in the Shanghai bonded areas remained unchanged from a week ago and stood at 23,800 mt as of November 27, showed SMM data.

Domestic nickel prices strengthened on week, and import loss of nickel plate repaired from -4,500 yuan/mt to-2,800 yuan/mt, and the import window of nickel briquette nearly opened. Most of the goods on arrival bills of lading enter the bonded area through direct customs clearance. Trade in the bonded area was still weak. This also accounted for the stable situation in the nickel bonded stocks this week.

[SMM Nickel Market Flash] Indonesia-Philippines Nickel Link Targets Ore Supply and Downstream Integration

One of the core objectives of the Indonesia-Philippines nickel corridor is to better connect Philippine ore resources with Indonesia’s downstream processing capacity. The report said the arrangement could strengthen feedstock security for Indonesia’s expanding HPAL and refining system, while giving the Philippines a faster route to benefit from higher-value regional exports through Indonesia’s processing hub. The initiative is also seen as a signal that Southeast Asia is seeking stronger bargaining power in the global nickel and EV battery supply chain.

[SMM Nickel Market Flash] Western Mines Intersects Higher-Grade Nickel Zones at Mulga Tank

Western Mines Group said hole MTD031 at the Mulga Tank Project also returned several higher-grade nickel intersections, including 6 m at 1.02% nickel from 259 m and 8 m at 0.81% nickel from 298 m. These intervals were also associated with elevated cobalt, copper, and platinum-palladium values. The results suggest deeper enriched zones may remain open and could support further delineation of higher-grade mineralisation.
