High-Grade NPI Market Transactions Remain Sluggish, Prices Expected to Stay Under Pressure in the Short Term [NPI Daily Review]
Dec 26, 2024, at 3:24 pm
[SMM Daily Review: High-Grade NPI Market Transactions Remain Sluggish, Prices Still Under Pressure in the Short Term] December 26—The SMM 8-12% high-grade NPI average price is 940 yuan/mtu (ex-factory, tax included), unchanged from the previous working day...
SMM, December 26 – On December 26, the SMM 8-12% high-grade NPI average price stood at 940 yuan/mtu (ex-factory, tax included), unchanged from the previous trading day.
Supply side, domestically, high-grade NPI prices fluctuated downward. The strong US dollar led to higher mining costs for smelters, and with traditional domestic smelters facing expanded losses, production momentum weakened, keeping production at low levels. In Indonesia, new RKAB quotas began to be released, and smelters there maintained sufficient raw material restocking. Coupled with the release of new capacity and the conversion of high-grade nickel matte to NPI, Indonesian production continued to grow.
Demand side, destocking of stainless steel social inventory and in-plant inventory remained slow. Leading stainless steel mills showed weak purchase willingness for high-grade NPI, and some mills had already secured long-term contracts. In the short term, market trading sentiment was subdued. High-grade NPI prices may continue to pull back, but downside room is limited due to cost support.
