SHANGHAI, Sep 5 (SMM) – The most traded SHFE nickel contract opened at 169,780 yuan/mt and closed at 170,710 yuan/mt at the night session on September 4, an increase of 2,510 yuan/mt from the previous trading day. The trading volume and the open interest increased by 75,681 lots and 4,181 lots respectively. The US ADP employment data released last Wednesday night and the August jobless rate released on Friday night both indicate that the current US economy is not resilient enough, which may influence the Fed’s interest rate hike process in September. In terms of fundamentals, MHP prices fluctuated upward under the dual support of domestic supply shortage and Indonesian nickel ore export quota issue. Trades in spot market remained thin yesterday. In summary, nickel prices may be volatile in the future.
