The closure of two major nickel mines may lead to a reduction of 33,000 tons in nickel market supply in 2014. According to foreign media reports, in the past week, two major nickel mines announced production cuts, which are expected to result in a decrease of 33,000 tons in the nickel market supply for 2014. Brazil's Votorantim Metals announced that it will temporarily close the Fortaleza de Minas nickel plant due to the current poor market conditions. The company stated that the decision to halt production stems from a severe imbalance between global nickel supply and demand, leading to a significant drop in nickel prices. The nickel plant has an annual production capacity of 18,000 tons and is scheduled to cease operations in November this year.
