SHANGHAI, Apr 13 (SMM) - In March, nickel ore arrivals at Chinese ports stood at 1.87 million wmt, down 2.4% MoM. Shipments flowing out of the ports in the Philippines were 1.55 million wmt, up 82.8% MoM. In March, nickel ore mines in the Philippines ramped up their output with the improvement in the weather conditions in the country, but the ore demand in China remained slack, thus the port arrivals showed a downward trend. It is expected that nickel ore shipments from the Philippines will gradually increase in April.
