Data also showed that nickel ore stocks across seven major Chinese ports decreased 492,000 wmt during the same period to 3.78 million wmt. Nickel ore inventories dropped significantly this week. Shipments in the Philippines declined due to the weather, and the output of domestic ferronickel plants increased slowly with rising demand for nickel ore, which accounted for the decrease in stocks. Inventories of refined nickel in the Shanghai bonded areas remained unchanged from a week ago and stood at 9,700 mt as of June 11, showed data.
