SMM April 10 Shanghai Nickel spot Daily Review

Published: Apr 10, 2020 18:24

SMM, 10 April:

Today, Electrolytic Nickel SMM1 offers 97100-99000 yuan per ton. As the Federal Reserve announced a new round of large-scale stimulus package, European and American stock indexes rose sharply last night, while easing policies made precious metals more popular. LME closed today, and Lunni closed at $11700 / tonne. Many advantages stimulated Shanghai Nickel to quickly pull up after the opening of trading today, re-standing above the 97000 yuan / tonne line. The sharp rise in nickel prices has dampened downstream demand to some extent, with trading slightly light. Russia Nickel to Shanghai Nickel 2005 contract reported 50 to 50 yuan / ton, due to different insurance costs, the willingness of market operators to lower the rising water is lower, the transaction situation is weaker today; Jinchuan Nickel Shanghai Nickel 2005 contract rose 1400-1500 yuan / ton, it is reported that 1400 yuan / ton has a small number of transactions. Recently, the downstream demand for Jinchuan nickel is relatively weak, but because the cost of traders receiving goods from manufacturers is still high, the increase of 1400 yuan / ton is already the biggest profit for the holders. It is expected that the Jinchuan nickel rise in the short-term market will not be further reduced. Today, nickel beans to Shanghai nickel 2005 contract reported 500 yuan / ton, due to the recent lack of nickel bean imports, domestic supplies are relatively scarce.

At the same time, high-grade NPI prices experienced some pullback, making it difficult for smelter profits to see sustained improvement.
