Spot Premiums/Discounts: The spot premiums for Jinchuan-branded nickel rose by 200 yuan compared to the previous trading day. The futures market saw a decline during the night session, prompting traders to slightly raise prices to maintain profitability. From a technical perspective, SHFE nickel futures contracts declined after the opening, possibly indicating that the sentiment impact from earlier Indonesian policies has subsided. Moving forward, close attention should be paid to the recovery of downstream demand.
