In terms of fundamentals, as nickel prices continue to rise this week, domestic nickel inventories have increased by more than 360 tons month-on-month, and the rising water of pure nickel in the spot market has also dropped at a high level, and the overall spot trading situation is obviously not as good as that of last week. however, because last week, domestic suppliers have finished the pre-sale of pure nickel this week, so the overall trading performance is still better; In other links, the performance of the nickel sulfate market remains pessimistic, and the price of battery-grade nickel sulfate remains low. As the nickel price continues to rise, the premium of battery-grade nickel sulfate over pure nickel narrowed to 7000 yuan / ton.
