SHANGHAI, May 12 (SMM) – SHFE 1507 nickel opened Monday’s evening session at RMB 113, 300/mt and lurched higher to RMB 115,060/mt. But the contract fell back later as shorts gathered the strength, to finally end at RMB 112,360/mt. Trading volumes were up 213,000 to 585,000 lots and positions climbed 1,154 to 129,000.

SHFE 1507 nickel started Tuesday at RMB 112,450/mt, but lacked the rising momentum as the longs closed positions.

Total trading volumes rose 144,000 to 872,000 lots whereas positions decreased 1,518 to 127,000.
