SMM Daily Analysis: Nickel sulfate prices temporarily stabilize, demand shows no obvious improvement
On December 19th, the SMM battery-grade nickel sulfate index price was 26,082 yuan/ton, flat compared to the previous working day. The price range for battery-grade nickel sulfate was 26,100-26,700 yuan/ton, with an average price unchanged from the previous working day. Nickel sulfate prices remained stable today. Upstream and downstream prices have not continued to decline, but overall demand for precursor materials remains weak, leading to a slow pace of nickel sulfate procurement. In terms of nickel, external procurement of nickel sulfate production hovers around the cost line, with general profit conditions. Therefore, despite inquiries, transactions remain weak. Nickel sulfate prices are temporarily stabilizing as overall demand remains weak and there are no clear signs of a rebound.
