“Nickel market is now under pressure from a strong dollar and falling prices in other base metal markets, and meanwhile, the return of shorts from aluminum market will also compound the pressure,” SMM points out.
“To be specifically speaking, LME nickel is expected to trade at $10,100-10,450 per tonne, and SHFE nickel will drift lower to 76,000-78,000 yuan per tonne,” SMM expects.
