Spot premiums/discounts side: Jinchuan brand nickel prices rose 250 yuan from the previous trading day. This was mainly due to the decline in nickel prices in the night session, prompting traders to appropriately raise premiums to protect their costs. Macro side, SHFE nickel futures contracts have been fluctuating rangebound recently, possibly due to weak market demand and the fading sentiment impact from Indonesian policies, coupled with the exit of long funds. However, as mine supply remains tight, nickel prices have some cost support at current levels, leaving room for short-term gains.
