Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - In the short - term, the strong performance of ferronickel prices and significant inventory pressure of refined nickel lead to a divergence in the trends of nickel and ferronickel prices. If the refined nickel inventory continues to grow, nickel prices may further decline to find the valuation bottom. But in the long - run, nickel prices do not have a basis for a sharp decline. Considering the global macro - easing expectations and news disturbances in Indonesia, long - position allocation has a higher cost - performance [1][14][18] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Nickel Ore - The overall supply and demand of nickel ore in Indonesia remain loose, with only a slight decline in the price of hydrometallurgical ore and firm prices of pyrometallurgical ore. Due to concerns about RKAB approval quotas, smelters have accelerated stockpiling, limiting the downside of ore prices. In the Philippines, improved weather and rising downstream ferronickel prices may lead to higher mine quotes [4] Ferronickel - Recently, ferronickel prices have been running steadily and strongly, with the bargaining range moving up to 955 - 960 yuan/nickel (including tax at the hatch). Supply growth is limited as iron - plant profits are still low. On the demand side, the expected increase in stainless - steel production in September supports ferronickel demand, but the volatility of the stainless - steel market makes steel mills cautious in raw - material procurement. In the short - term, ferronickel prices are expected to continue to run steadily and strongly [6] Refined Nickel - In the short - term, there is an obvious oversupply of refined nickel. In September, the global visible inventory of refined nickel has returned to the accumulation trend, increasing by 17,000 tons to 263,000 tons since the beginning of the month, dragging down nickel prices. In the long - run, nickel prices do not have a basis for a sharp decline because of Indonesia's RKAB approval system and the rising costs of smelting processes [14]
印尼打击非法采矿 青山当地镍矿部分区域被查封|出海·投资
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-09-15 09:16
图片来自青山集团 据财新了解,被查封的矿区面积为148公顷,占整个4.7万公顷矿区的0.3%,因此该事件对矿区生产影响不大 作者|罗国平 印尼多家媒体在9月11日、12日报道了上述事件。印尼森林区域管理特别工作组(Satgas PKH)查封整顿了印尼维达贝 镍业有限公司以及PT Tonia Mitra Sejahtera公司的部分采矿区域,因这些区域在没有拿到林区借用及使用许可证的 (PPKH)情况下,开展了采矿活动。 接近青山集团的人士对财新确认,印尼政府正在开展林区专项整治,涉及一批企业,而韦达贝镍业公司有148公顷矿区 牵涉其中,"公司完全接受整改。"他进一步表示,该矿区共有4.7万顷,范围较大,矿区边界不够清晰。他认为,印尼 矿业及矿主情况复杂,随着镍产业价值在提升,地方利益博弈也日渐复杂,但随着印尼经济发展,相信该国管理会走向 规范。 维达贝镍业在该矿区开发世界级的镍矿,对应资源折合镍金属量约930万吨。被查封的148公顷矿区仅占总面积的 0.3%,因此该事件对矿区生产影响并不大。 印尼总检察长办公室发言人阿南·苏普里亚特纳 (Anang Supriatna) 表示:"工作组已接管了这块区域,土地也 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The smelting end of nickel presents a clean range - bound trading logic, while the news front has high uncertainty and requires dynamic tracking. The short - term nickel price does not have a basis for a significant decline, but there is a long - term pressure expectation due to the commissioning of low - cost wet - process projects. [1] - For stainless steel, the short - term supply - demand situation and long - term contradictions are in a game, and the steel price will run in a range - bound manner. The short - term supply and demand lack drivers, and the steel price is expected to fluctuate within a narrow range. [2] Summary by Related Catalogs Nickel Fundamental Analysis - Indonesian nickel ore news has caused disturbances again. A 148 - hectare nickel mine in Weda Bay Nickel was taken over, accounting for about 0.3% of its total area, affecting a monthly nickel ore output of 600 metal tons. The Indonesian government has urged companies to resubmit the 2026 RKAB budget starting from October 2025, which may strengthen the high - price support logic for the ore end. [1] - The short - term support for the smelting end lies in the cash cost of the pyrometallurgical integration, and the upper anchor is the relative valuation with ferronickel. The global visible inventory of pure nickel has increased, with a weekly increase of 0.98 million tons to 26.4 million tons, which still drags down the market. However, non - standard nickel shows a certain degree of destocking. [1] Stainless Steel Fundamental Analysis - The short - term supply and demand of stainless steel lack drivers. The demand growth rate has converged significantly compared with previous years, with the apparent demand growth rate dropping to 2.0%. The supply growth rate has also converged, with the cumulative year - on - year growth rate falling to 2.4%. The import volume has decreased by 27% due to the production cut of an Indonesian steel mill, and the supply - demand mismatch has eased slightly. [2] - The supply elasticity may limit the upside space. The production schedule in September is expected to increase, with a 6% month - on - month increase to 3.45 million tons in China, and the cumulative year - on - year growth rate is expected to be repaired to 3.2%. The profit of steel mills has been squeezed, and the cost support logic limits the downside space. [2] Inventory Changes - The social inventory of refined nickel in China has increased by 144 tons to 39,298 tons. The LME nickel inventory has increased by 9,666 tons to 225,084 tons. The SMM ferronickel inventory on August 31 was 29,267 tons, a 12% decrease from half a month ago and a 28% increase year - on - year. [3][4][5] - On September 11, 2025, the total social inventory of stainless steel was 1.0125 million tons, a 3.90% week - on - week decrease. The nickel ore inventory at Chinese ports has increased by 779,300 wet tons to 13.8616 million wet tons. [5] Market News - Multiple Indonesian nickel - related projects have new developments, including the trial production of the CNI nickel - iron RKEF project, the suspension of production of EF lines in some nickel - iron smelting industrial parks, and the government's emphasis on resubmitting the 2026 RKAB budget. [6][7] - Some steel mills in Shandong have started maintenance, reducing the supply of hot - rolled coil. The Indonesian government will crack down on illegal mining, and a 148 - hectare nickel mine in Weda Bay Nickel was taken over, affecting a monthly output of 600 metal tons. [8][9] Weekly Key Data Tracking - Data on the closing prices, trading volumes, and other indicators of Shanghai nickel and stainless steel futures are provided, as well as data on import nickel, ferronickel, and other products in the industrial chain.

Core Viewpoints - For nickel, on September 4th, the main nickel contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fluctuated downward, with a decrease in trading volume and open interest, and a 0.29% decline in LME nickel. The spot market had weak trading, and the basis premium widened. The supply side showed stable nickel ore prices, a decrease in nickel ore arrivals last week, and an increase in port inventories. Nickel iron mills' losses narrowed, with increased domestic and Indonesian production in September and a reduction in nickel iron inventories. Domestic electrolytic nickel production will increase in September, and export profits have expanded. The demand side showed a decrease in ternary production, an increase in stainless - steel mill production, and stable alloy and electroplating demand. In terms of inventory, SHFE decreased, LME increased, social inventory decreased, and bonded - area inventory remained flat. Overall, the pure nickel fundamentals are loose, with repeated expectations of Fed rate cuts and concerns about Indonesian unrest, so nickel prices are expected to fluctuate widely. It is recommended to wait and see [1] - For stainless steel, on September 4th, the main stainless - steel contract oscillated at a low level, with an increase in trading volume and a decrease in open interest.
