SHANGHAI, Mar 10 (SMM) - On the supply side, nickel prices continued to weaken. The upstream companies were more willing to ship, and the spot prices declined further. In terms of NPI, thousands of metric tonnes of NPI were traded at 1,250 yuan/mtu by a stainless steel mill in east China yesterday. Traders and some NPI plants undercut their prices due to the high inventory and the slack market. On the demand side, in terms of stainless steel, according to SMM research, affected by the crashing futures prices and the traders' dumping of goods, intraday spot quotes fell. Purchases from alloy companies picked up slightly amid the falling nickel prices. To sum up, the pure nickel sector faces weak supply and demand. Nickel prices will move rangebound in the short term.
