[ Nickel ore ] 1-4 month of China hammers rolls over the nickel, the nickel ore imports the large scale growth

It is reported, 1-4 month, our country has not hammered rolls over the nickel import to measure 39,200 tons, grew 21.9% compared to same time last year; The import nickel ore material object measures 3.8494 million tons, grew 10.4 times compared to same time last year; The exportation has not hammered rolls over the nickel 07,900 tons, grew 19.1% compared to same time last year.
domestic non-ferrous metal development facility Beijing peaceful and undisturbed branch company analyst Xu Aidong believed, because the nickel price continuously is located the historical top digit movement, enables the downstream industry to have the obvious change. At present the stainless steel mill massively uses the ferro-nickel iron to carry on the production, causes the multitudinous ferroalloy enterprise to produce a different product produces the ferro-nickel iron, thus has enlarged the nickel ore import, also the increased range is astonishing. Because the stainless steel mill now uses the ferro-nickel iron production the cost for directly to use has not hammered rolls over the nickel production about 80%, the stainless steel mill continuously is enlarging the ferro-nickel iron the purchase proportion.
Xu Aidong analyzes, because the nickel price is higher, at present the overseas stainless steel mill is reducing production, but the domestic business immovable property can increase increases production, therefore this year ferro-nickel iron output increases the scope to be able to achieve the high spot, last year contained the nickel alloy metal productivity approximately 30,000 tons, but this year possibly amounts to 100,000 tons. Domestic later period also will increase to the nickel ore demand, but to has not hammered rolls over the nickel the import not to be able because the price reason will not be able to have the obvious increase
