China hurt most by Indonesia’s move to keep nickel at home


JAKARTA (Bloomberg): Indonesia’s pledge to be more than a raw-materials supplier is set to pile pressure on China’s steel to electric vehicles industries that are already grappling with rising cost volatility.

The South-East Asian country said Wednesday (Jan 12) it’s studying a progressive levy on exports of nickel pig iron and ferronickel that could be imposed as soon as this year.
