1. Intengo yezinto ezingavuthiwe inyukile

Kusukela inqubomgomo yokunciphisa amandla yaqiniswa ngoSepthemba, ukukhiqizwa kwasekhaya kwe-ferronickel kwehle kakhulu. Ngo-Okthoba, igebe phakathi kokunikezwa kukagesi nesidingo ezifundeni ezihlukahlukene laliselikhulu. Izinkampani ze-nickel zilungise izinhlelo zazo zokukhiqiza ngokuvumelana nezinkomba zomthwalo wamandla. Kulindeleke ukuthi umphumela ngo-Okthoba ukhombise ukwehla.

Ngokwempendulo yefekthri, izindleko zokukhiqiza ngokushesha zesitshalo se-ferronickel zikhuphuke kakhulu ngenxa yokwanda kwakamuva kwentengo yezinto ezisizayo; kanye nomthelela wenqubomgomo yokuncishiswa kwamandla kuye kwaholela ekwehleni komthwalo wokukhiqiza wefekthri, futhi izindleko ezimaphakathi zikhuphuke kakhulu uma ziqhathaniswa nokukhiqizwa okuqhubekayo. Uma sibheka intengo yamanje yemakethe, ukukhiqizwa kwamafekthri ngokushesha kuseduze nokulahlekelwa, futhi izinkampani ngazinye sezilahlekelwe yimali. Ekugcineni, intengo yeshidi lensimbi yenyuka ngokuphindaphindiwe. Ngaphansi kwenqubomgomo yokulawulwa okukabili kokusetshenziswa kwamandla, isimo esibuthakathaka sokuhlinzekwa kwemakethe kanye nesidingo siyaqhubeka, futhi izinkampani ze-ferronickel ziphinde zabhekana nenkinga enzima. Ngaphansi kwendlela yokuzilawula yemakethe, kuzoqalwa umjikelezo omusha wokuguqulwa kwentengo.

2. Izinga lempahla yasolwandle liyaqhubeka nokukhuphuka

Ngaphezu kokuthintwa yizinqubomgomo zemvelo namanani entengo yezinto zokusetshenziswa, izinguquko ezindlekweni zokuthutha nazo zinomthelela omkhulu.

Ngokusho kweShanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFI) eshicilelwe yiShanghai Aviation Exchange, ngemuva kwamasonto angama-20 alandelanayo ekhuphuka, inkomba yakamuva ye-SCFI yempahla yehle okokuqala. Umthumeli wempahla uthe nakuba izinga lempahla lehle kancane, izinkampani zemikhumbi zisakhokhisa iGeneral Rate Increase surcharge (GRI) ngo-Okthoba. Ngakho-ke, umthwalo wangempela usadinga ukwengezwa enkokhelweni eyengeziwe ye-GRI ukuze kube yinani langempela lempahla.

Lolu bhubhane luphazamise ukubuyiswa kwamakhonteyna. Ngenxa yokulawulwa kahle kwesimo sobhubhane e-China, inani elikhulu lama-oda adluliselwa e-China ukuze akhiqize, okuholele ekufakweni kwevolumu yokuthekelisa, okuqinisa ukushoda kwesikhala neziqukathi ezingenalutho. Ngenxa yalokho, izimpahla zasolwandle ziye zaqhubeka zenyuka.
