SHANGHAI, Mar. 23 (SMM) -- Yesterday, LME nickel prices opened at USD 22,400/mt and closed at USD 22,350/mt, with highest price at USD 22,600/mt and lowest price at USD 21,876/mt. Daily trading volumes were 1,705 lots and positions were 97,282 lots.
The Greek sovereign debt crisis failed to receive support from Germany, so the prospect of European financial system was still unclear. Yesterday, US dollar index fell after testing high levels, indicating that market became insensitive to negative impact from debt crisis in Greece. In this context, any upward room for US dollar index will begin to narrow today. However, base metal prices were still negatively affected by tight liquid policy and LME nickel prices further slipped. The previous upward momentum was weak at present, and LME nickel prices will poised for future increases.
It is expected that LME nickel pries will move in the USD 21,850-22,400/mt range today.
