Today's market continues yesterday's less spot atmosphere, the inquiry is relatively active, because the number of holders is less Russian nickel quotation is also less, the quotation level is still about 1600 yuan / ton, there are still resources in the market, but the holding situation of each family is quite different. Recently, nickel pig iron and other nickel plate brands still have obvious price advantages over Russian nickel, and Russian nickel is relatively difficult to ship, thus reducing the interest of some traders in Russian nickel trading. Jinchuan nickel rising water or more than 5000 yuan / ton high level, the actual transaction center of gravity compared with yesterday changed little, quoted high prices are basically difficult to close, so today's high-end quotation reduced. Jinchuan nickel board ex-factory price (Shanghai) 110000 yuan / ton, the same as yesterday.
