SHANGHAI, Dec. 7 (SMM) --
Nickel

LME nickel price advanced higher to hit a high of USD 18,250/mt at 5:00 pm after opening at USD 18,001/mt during the Asian trading hours and early European trading hours on Tuesday. However, LME nickel prices were temporarily weighed due to Standard and Poor’s warning that it may cut credit rating of many banks in the euro zone. Investors were positively waiting for outcome of Friday’s EU summit. Coupled with technical support, LME nickel prices were relatively firm. LME nickel inventories were up by 600 mt to 91,056 mt.
