This week, Shanghai copper as a whole showed a V-shaped trend of first suppressing and then rising, and the macro optimism cooled slightly.

Jinchuan nickel week to Shanghai nickel 2006 contract water between 1000-1400 yuan / ton, although the Shanghai area has arrived, but the shipment is still limited, traders in the beginning of the week after replenishing the warehouse, there is still continuous demand for replenishing the warehouse; downstream side to pick up the goods as needed, there is no big deal. Due to the proximity to the delivery of the Shanghai Nickel 05 contract, after the drop in nickel prices, deliverable brands such as Bofeng Nickel and Jinchuan Electrodeposited Nickel also have a certain turnover, but generally speaking, the consumption capacity of pure nickel is weak this week, and the decline in spot inventory has also slowed down compared with the previous period. It is expected that traders will gradually turn to 07 contract quotations next week, and Russian nickel is expected to be quoted between 200 and 100 yuan / ton; Jinchuan nickel to 07 contract premium will remain above 1000 yuan / ton.
