I ráiteas Dé Céadaoin, dúirt Malartú Miotail Londain (LME) go n-ardódh sé an teorainn uachtarach nó níos ísle do nicil go 8 faoin gcéad agus go gcoimeádfadh sé teorainn praghais laethúil 15 faoin gcéad do bhunmhiotail eile, éifeachtach Déardaoin.
Thosaigh Lenni ag trádáil arís tar éis -fionraí ar feadh seachtaine, ach níor chuaigh rudaí mar a bhí beartaithe. Dé Céadaoin Lune teorainn oscailte nicil, agus mar gheall ar na cúiseanna teicniúla a mhalartú, bhuail an teorainn níos ísle ba chúis le stopadh arís. Thosaigh trádáil leictreonach nicil, a bhí curtha ar fionraí, ag 2 pm am Londain Dé Céadaoin (22:00 pm am Beijing Dé Céadaoin), le gnóthachain agus caillteanais teoranta do 5 faoin gcéad.
The LME will not release Wednesday's closing price, as nickel prices are down by the daily limit during the closing period. The 45,590 / tonne limit will continue to be used for margin calculations at the LME clearing house, as well as the basis for Thursday's gains and losses.
Chuir an suaitheadh géar sa mhargadh iachall ar an LME trádáil nicil a mhéadú nó a laghdú go 8 faoin gcéad in aghaidh an lae, ach dúirt sé go bhféadfadh sé na teorainneacha uachtaracha nó níos ísle do nicil agus miotail eile a choigeartú tuilleadh ag brath ar choinníollacha an mhargaidh.
In a sign that tensions may be easing, Aoyama announced on Tuesday that it had reached a silent agreement with a syndicate of futures bank creditors. According to the agreement, during the quiet period, Aoshan and its syndicate will actively negotiate the implementation of standby, secured liquidity facilities, mainly for Aoshan's nickel position margin and settlement needs. During the quiet period, the participating futures banks agree not to liquidate the positions held by Aoshan or require additional margin for existing positions.
"In a sense it was expected because we all expected nickel prices to fall, it was just a matter of how fast," said Colin Hamilton, managing director of commodity research at BMO Capital Markets.
The LME's SELECT electronic trading showed a huge volume of sell orders, equivalent to about 50,000 tonnes of nickel, at a limit of 45,590 a tonne, suggesting further falls once trading opens.
