The rainy season in the main mining area of the Philippines was coming, and the price of nickel ore was firm. The supply and demand of ferronickel improved, and the short-term resource was tight. Indonesia's tariff policy raised the cost of importing ferronickel, and the price of nickel pig iron rose.
