Fastmarkets assessment of the nickel min 99.8% full plate premium, in-whs Shanghai was $400-450 per tonne on the same day, also unchanged since September 20.
A high backwardation continued to dampen import appetite, leading to thin liquidity, although offers were quoted higher.
Meanwhile, bonded stock is reportedly low. Fastmarkets assessed Shanghai bonded nickel stock at 1,800-8,900 tonnes on October 31, down by 39.5% year on year.
But the low inventories failed to generate buying interest, with only 400 tonnes being drawn down from the sheds over the month.
The cash/three-month spread for LME nickel was most recently at a $86.90-per-tonne backwardation. fastmarkets
