LME nickel prices  Daily Nickel/Stainless Steel Briefing 

  • Nickel closed Thursday's trading session at $7.34/lb   ($16,190/tonne). Indicators at 5:50 am CST today show nickel trading around $.02/lb lower. Stockpiles of nickel stored in LME licensed warehouses rose on Thursday and started today reading just over the 164,500 tonne level. Shanghai nickel retreated to 129,110 y/t overnight. All of nickel's gain yesterday, came early and in one big run. After that, the bulls chilled and the trading price of nickel has gone no where since. Still have found no real reason for the bump, so we suspect it was an attempt to spook the shorts, who did not bite. Slower news day so we leave you with it. Stay safe out there and have a great weekend!
  • Average price of LME traded cash nickel so far this month - $7.13/lb
