SHANGHAI, Mar 2 (SMM) - On the supply side, SHFE nickel prices hit a new low in 2023 yesterday, and the spot prices also dropped, but the pure nickel suppliers were still active in shipping. NPI traders got high in-plant stocks, and some were eager to dump their goods. On the demand side, in terms of stainless steel, according to SMM research, the low futures prices aroused panic in the market. The spot prices have been lowered several times in the early trading yesterday. The cold-rolled coil transactions were poor, while the hot-rolled coil transactions were average. Pure nickel trading picked up slightly on the fall in the prices yesterday. To sum up, the pure nickel supply is still expected to be sufficient, but the low nickel warrants support the nickel prices. SMM believes that the nickel prices will move rangebound.
