Asian Highlights

摘要

Prices across Asia have continued to soften on weaker demand as the high level of restocking seen over the first quarter has now come to an end. As the seasonally slower summer period approaches buyers have now adopted a 'wait-and-see' strategy on the assumption that they will be able to purchase cheaper material later as nickel prices remain weak. Demand has been particularly poor over May with traders reporting a decline in sales and difficulty attaining initial offer prices.
