U saopćenju u srijedu, Londonska berza metala (LME) je rekla da će podići gornju ili donju granicu za nikl na 8 posto i zadržati dnevnu granicu cijena od 15 posto za ostale bazne metale, koja će stupiti na snagu u četvrtak.
Lenni je nastavio trgovinu nakon -sedmične suspenzije, ali stvari nisu išle po planu. Srijeda lune nikl otvoren limit, a zbog razmjene tehničkih razloga, pogodak donje granice doveo do ponovnog zaustavljanja. Elektronsko trgovanje niklom, koje je bilo obustavljeno, nastavljeno je u srijedu u 14 sati po londonskom vremenu (22:00 po pekinškom vremenu u srijedu), uz dobitke i gubitke ograničene na 5 posto.
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.
Oštra previranja na tržištu primorala su LME da poveća ili smanji trgovinu niklom na 8 posto dnevno, ali je dodao da bi mogao dodatno prilagoditi gornje ili donje granice za nikl i druge metale u zavisnosti od tržišnih uslova.
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.
