[El Niño forced Indonesian nickel processing center to cut production, which may affect about 100,000 tons of nickel pig iron production] On September 22, it was reported that the smelter of a major nickel processing center in Indonesia will be forced to cut production due to insufficient water supply for cooling and protecting equipment due to drought caused by El Niño. According to people familiar with the matter, this production reduction may affect approximately 100,000 tons of nickel pig iron production. According to Wood Mackenzie's estimates, the park's annual production capacity is approximately 4.2 million tons, or a monthly production capacity of 350,000 tons. This production cut may help curb the decline in nickel prices. Nickel prices on the London Metal Exchange have fallen by about 18% from their highs in early May.
