SHANGHAI, Feb 3 (SMM) - Premiums of NORNICKEL nickel were nearly 1,400 yuan/mt higher than that of Jinchuan nickel on Thursday, which led to poor shipments of spot NORNICKEL nickel. Futures prices of nickel continued to increase amid the production resumption after the Chinese New Year holiday. But the downstream demand for pure nickel was not strong, hence the inquiries and procurement were cold. Due to the procurement rhythm of traders, the spot Jinchuan goods were shipped before the Chinese New Year. But the import window of NORNICKEL nickel was closed in the early stage. After the CNY holiday, the procurement costs of Jinchuan nickel were low, but the costs of NORNICKEL nickel were still high, which led to the higher premiums. However, the market was less bullish towards SHFE nickel and the SHFE/LME nickel price ratio continued to recover. As such, it is expected that the premiums will ease next week.
