Electrolytic nickel

Spot: [Wuxi Shanghai nickel price difference is large Wuxi plate nickel bean transaction is active] on October 22, Russian nickel compared with Shanghai nickel 1911 reported water 100 to 200 yuan / ton, Jinchuan nickel generally increased water 400-500 yuan / ton compared with Shanghai nickel 1911 contract. The rising water in Jinchuan, Russia is generally lower, mainly due to the recent large price difference between Shanghai nickel and Wuxi nickel.

Today, the nickel price opened lower, Wuxi and Shanghai nickel price difference has been repaired, but it is still more than 7000 yuan / ton, nickel bean transaction is better than nickel plate, but because the mainstream traders quoted nickel in Shanghai, the Shanghai spot market trading is very light.

[the focus of negotiations in the high-nickel pig iron market continues to weaken] on October 22, SMM 8-12% high-nickel pig iron (ex-factory price) was 1160-1200 yuan / nickel point, and the average price was 15 yuan / nickel point lower than yesterday.

Due to the difference between nickel and nickel-iron fundamentals, when the price rose in the early stage, the acceptance of high-nickel pig iron and nickel price by stainless steel plants was very limited, but with the help of some financial forces, the focus of market transactions still lagged behind the sharp rise in nickel price, and now the nickel price has been adjusted back sharply, coupled with the fact that large stainless steel plants in the south, which have not been procured in large quantities for a long time, continue to make price inquiries at a low price of 1180 yuan / nickel point (to the factory). Confidence in the nickel pig iron market also quickly collapsed. According to the latest situation, because the price is in a downward trend, most stainless steel plants wait and see to purchase, delay the release of demand, and reoccupy the initiative in price negotiations. For arbitrage traders, in order to seize the first opportunity to ship as soon as possible, there are many concessions to the price in the actual negotiation. Nickel pig iron plants see a serious deterioration in the market situation, most of them are difficult to have the intention to take the initiative to quote, market participants believe that even if the price falls to 1150 yuan / nickel point (ex-factory price) may also be difficult to stimulate a large number of buying, it is difficult to stop the decline in the short term.
