SHANGHAI, Jun 27 (SMM) – Nickel spot premiums in the Shanghai market were lower on Wednesday June 27 from the level seen the previous day as futures rose.
Some traders lowered their offers to offload their cargoes as they were bearish on future nickel prices, SMM learned.
Downstream consumers, however, took a watch-and-wait stance as they had stockpiled sufficiently.
