[SMM Nickel Morning Meeting Summary] US Fed's Williams releases dovish signals, most-traded SHFE nickel contract swings wildly in daytime session

[10.15 Morning Meeting Notes] US Fed's "third-in-command" Williams sent a dovish signal, fueling expectations that the rate-hike cycle is nearing its end. New York Fed President Williams (permanent voting member) said one more rate hike this year would be appropriate, but there is no need to hike in 2027. This marks the Fed's first explicit signal that "only one final hike remains in 2026." Following his remarks, the US dollar and Treasury yields pulled back, with the 10-year Treasury yield falling 1.6 bp to 5.221%, and the US dollar index retreating from 18-month highs, down 0.37% to 102.2. However, internal divisions remain (Goolsbee and Barkin lean hawkish). US September CPI will be released tonight at 20:30, the last inflation data before the October 27-28 FOMC meeting, serving as a key verdict. The most-traded SHFE nickel contract (2611) swung wildly during the daytime session, closing at 118,320 yuan/mt, down 0.14%. Williams' dovish signal pulled back the US dollar and Treasury yields and fueled expectations that the rate-hike cycle is nearing its end, but market sentiment remains cautious ahead of tonight's US September CPI release, with weak position-building momentum. Nickel's own fundamentals of high inventory and weak demand remain unchanged. If tonight's CPI is mild, dovish expectations will be confirmed, supporting a rebound; if it exceeds expectations, pressure will return. In the short term, the most-traded SHFE nickel contract is expected to trade in the range of 118,000-121,000 yuan/mt.
