Prices of nickel and copper drifted lower by Rs 2 per kg at the non-ferrous metal market today due to reduced offtake by consuming industries.
Traders said reduced industrial offtake and weak global trend mainly led to the fall in nickel and copper prices.
In the national capital, nickel plate (4x4) and copper mixed scrap eased by Rs 2 each to Rs 860-865 and Rs 344 per kg respectively.
Following are today's metal rates (in Rs per kg):
