SHANGHAI, Apr 13 (SMM) - On the supply side, downstream demand picked up slightly, but the spot nickel premiums fell amid the rising futures prices. Imports of pure nickel still suffered losses. There are still some NPI inventories that have not been released, but the overall stocks decreased slightly, especially the inventory held by traders. On the demand side, there have been a lot of transactions in the market recently, which are mainly the pick-up of cargoes without B/L. The terminal companies restocked raw materials in a small amount each time. In general, pure nickel demand grew slightly, which may curb the nickel prices from further dropping.
