SHANGHAI, Feb 28 (SMM) - On February 28, premiums of Jinchuan nickel were 5,300-5,500 yuan/mt. The average premium stood at 5,400 yuan/mt, down 350 yuan/mt from the previous trading day.

Recently, SHFE nickel prices have bottomed out, but the upstream companies were active in shipping approaching the month-end, dragging down the spot premiums. However, affected by the rebound in absolute price, spot transactions today were mainly contributed by the traders. In terms of nickel briquette, the prices were 202,050-203,050 yuan/mt, an increase of 1,300 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. Nickel briquette trading was poor as the prices were still higher than the nickel sulphate prices.
