Nickel sulphate prices were stable in the week ending October 26 amid poor trading activity. The discount coefficient of raw materials remained high at 78-80% against LME nickel price. Nickel sulphate plants held onto firm prices due to cost concerns, but muted demand made some plants waver. Precursor plants restocked based on rigid demand in response to poor orders. After nickel sulphate prices exceeded refined nickel prices, refined nickel plants basically halted nickel sulphate purchase. Nickel sulphate prices may drop in the week ending November 3, but high cost should limit the downside space.
