Shandong area: no output of electrolytic nickel in February, so far we have not known the later plan of the plant, so we will continue to pay attention to it.

On the whole, at present, the four enterprises have no output, and some of them have no plans to resume production. At present, the production and operation of refineries in operation will maintain normal state, although the Spring Festival holiday factors have an impact, but to a lesser extent, the actual output will increase by a certain proportion. In March, due to the increase of working hours, and the steady progress of production scheduling of enterprises in production, as well as the arrival of the peak consumption season after the year, some enterprises may resume production, so the output is expected to maintain the growth trend.
