SHANGHAI, Apr 15 (SMM) - This week, LME nickel maintains a volatile trend. Although the trend of SHFE nickel prices is strong, the imports are still at losses. Nickel inventory in Shanghai bonded zone was 8,200 mt this week. The inventory of nickel briquettes and nickel plates was 2,900 mt and 5,300 mt respectively, flat from last week.
