SHANGHAI, Aug 3 (SMM) – Nickel stocks in Shanghai bonded warehouses grew 6% from a week ago to 61,000 mt as of Friday August 3, SMM data showed.

Arrivals of cargoes for previously signed forward contracts accounted for the increase.

A closed import arbitrage window earlier this week also hindered some materials from flowing out of the bonded areas to the domestic market.
