SHANGHAI, Feb 10 (SMM) - During the week, NORNICKEL nickel arrived at the market one after another, and the premiums trended lower. The inquiries and transactions in the early trading yesterday were sluggish. The quotations offered by some NPI factories and traders stabilised with some declines. The nickel ore market witnessed some high-priced transactions, and the overall nickel ore prices grew slightly with the firm cost support. On the demand side, according to SMM research, 200-series cold-rolled coils arrived in the south China market intensively, weighing on the inventory again. Transactions of #304 cold-rolled coils were slack, while those of hot-rolled coils were acceptable. Alloy companies still purchased pure nickel on dips in a small amount. In general, pure nickel demand remained weak. SMM presumes that nickel prices will remain rangebound.
