Nickel spot

Nickel spot: today's nickel futures continue to consolidate in the first line of 116000 yuan / ton, and the turnover in the spot market is not as good as the number of daily active users in the past few years. Due to the gradual release of demand from nickel users since last Thursday, to today, demand has shown signs of weakening. Although there is a certain amount of procurement and trading turnover in the market, more traders have said that the demand is lower than expected. In terms of quotation, the Russian nickel discount continued to hold steady at-300 yuan / ton for 10 contracts, with a stable performance during the week. Jinchuan nickel rose again today, and the morning market rose 1500 to 1700 yuan / ton for 10 contracts. It is reported that the high price is more difficult to ship downstream, so traders in the field are more cautious to replenish the goods. The ex-factory price of Jinchuan was quoted at 118000 yuan / ton today, the same as yesterday, but compared with the Shanghai Nickel 10 contract, there is still 1800-1900 yuan / ton of water per ton, so it is expected that there is still room for Jinchuan to rise in the future. For nickel beans, today's quotation for 10 contracts ranges from 600 to 400 yuan per ton, and the demand performance is also poor.
