[36] - This week, Shanghai nickel showed a volatile downward trend. The spot trading of refined nickel has improved, but it is still in a supply - surplus pattern. The market at the mine end has changed little, and the shipment from the Philippines is slow due to rainy weather. The price of nickel sulfate is weak, and salt factories are currently operating at a loss with no obvious improvement in downstream demand. The stainless - steel spot and futures markets are weak, with purchases mainly for immediate needs and steel mills being cautious in raw - material procurement. Although demand has resilience, whether it will improve in the medium - to - long term remains to be verified by further data. The expected operating range of the Shanghai nickel main contract is approximately 116,000 to 128,000 yuan/ton, and that of the stainless - steel main contract is approximately 12,300 to 13,000 yuan/ton.
