SHANGHAI, Mar 29 (SMM) - On the supply side, nickel prices rebounded from lows. The spot premiums fell at the end of the month. In terms of NPI, market news cast a certain impact on participants’ sentiments. Although the NPI stocks trended lower, there is still a certain amount of goods that have not been released. It is still necessary to pay attention to whether there will be traders selling goods at lows to withdraw funds, which will drive down the prices. On the demand side, according to SMM research, the cold-rolled coil transactions have improved to a certain extent recently. The inventory dropped quickly as the downstream companies were more willing to restock. In general, the pure nickel sector faces weak supply and demand. SMM presumes the nickel prices will remain rangebound.
