The average nickel price so far this month reached US$14,527/ton, greatly higher than US$13,402/ton in the previous month.
Meanwhile, LME’s market inventory of nickel slightly increased by 12 tons to 238,830 tons. The cumulative increase in August was 3,588 tons so far.
According to market participants, nickel prices continued rising due to the obvious stainless steel destocking in China and a positive outlook for market demand. The short-term nickel price was expected to keep stable unless it was affected by macro factors.
