SMM, July 24th:

The main contract of Shanghai Nickel 2010 opened at 108480 yuan / ton today. After the opening, the bulls increased their positions slightly after a brief shock, but Shanghai Nickel was still under pressure and failed to break through the first line of 109000 yuan / ton. After Shanghai Nickel returned to 108500 yuan / ton first-line consolidation, in the second trading session of the morning market, under the offensive of bulls again and again, Shanghai Nickel probed as high as 109190 yuan / ton, the highest in the day. In the afternoon, stimulated by the news surface, Shanghai nickel jumped out of the air and opened low, and the bulls reduced their positions one after another. after the Shanghai nickel exploration fell 106290 yuan / ton, the temporary goods were supported by the 5 / 20 average line, and finally closed at 107620 yuan / ton after returning to the enterprise and rising steadily. It rose by 2320 yuan per ton, or 2.2%. The trading volume was 1066009 lots, and the position decreased by 15032 lots to 118735 lots. Tesla's call for nickel ore production yesterday stimulated a sharp rise in the outer disk, but after the rise in Shanghai nickel, the main position only increased by more than 5000 hands last night. Today, although the Shanghai nickel morning market continued to rise, rising to 109180 yuan / ton, but there are still no signs of a large number of capital inflows. At noon, the news that China had suspended the business activities of the US consulate in Chengdu immediately stimulated the risk aversion of nickel funds. Therefore, more and more short positions have been closed to understand that Shanghai Nickel gives up more gains. At present, the fundamentals of the nickel market are still short, but under the loose monetary policy, inflation expectations make Shanghai nickel easy to rise and difficult to fall. Investors are advised to judge the middle track of the Boll line of 105000 yuan / ton and the highest point of the year at 110000, while paying attention to the change of the main position and carrying out short-term operation appropriately.
