SHANGHAI, Jul 31 (SMM) – Inventories of refined nickel in the Shanghai bonded areas rose this week, as seaborne arrivals were moved to bonded warehouses in a closed import arbitrage window.

 

SMM data showed that the stocks increased 1,000 mt in the week ended July 31 to 18,300 mt, and plate-shaped products accounted for the increase. The stocks have risen for six weeks in the past seven.

 

SMM expects the bonded nickel stocks to continue to climb in August.
