SHANGHAI, Feb 16 (SMM) - On the supply side, nickel prices rose first and then fell yesterday. The upstream shipments were average, and the market inquiries picked up. In terms of NPI, due to the weakening of stainless steel futures and spot prices, some NPI factories and traders have reduced their quotations. On the demand side, according to SMM research, the bid price disclosed by Tsingshan was lower than the previous one, but it was still higher than the traded price of the spot. And the orders received by Tsingshan Group were not as good as expected. Alloy companies’ purchasing volume of pure nickel rose amid the falling nickel prices. In general, the demand for pure nickel grew as the prices dropped in the past few days. SMM believes that the nickel prices will move rangebound.
