Overnight, the most-traded SHFE nickel contract opened at 126,000 yuan/mt, and closed at 128,260 yuan/mt, up 1,230 yuan/mt. Trading volume rose 10,971 lots, and open interest decreased by 4,898 lots. On the macro front, given the US CPI data on Jan 11, the core CPI has declined, boosting commodities. In addition, the news of the suspension of intermediate products projects drove SHFE nickel prices upward. From a fundamental perspective, LME inventory destocked slightly by 72 mt yesterday, with Europe being the main driver. Nickel price is expected to be volatile.
