According to statistics released by the United States Department of Commerce, the country exports of nickel scrap totaled 1,871 tons in February, dropping by 22.9% compared to the same period of last year. 

The main reason for decline in exports is due to less export to Japan and Sweden.

The average export price of nickel scrap was US$5,304.44/ton, up by 27% m-o-m.

In the meantime, shipments of nickel scrap to Australia surged by 2.3 times.
