 "Nickel down 1.3% on global cues")
Nickel prices fell by Rs 3 per kg at the local market today due to reduced industrial demand amid a weak global trend.
However, other base metals held steady in limited deals.
Traders said sentiments in nickel turned bearish after most base metals declined in global markets as data showed industrial profits grew at the slowest pace on record last year in China, adding to the speculation that demand in the largest consumer may contract.
In the national capital, nickel (4x4) fell by Rs 3 to Rs 1,075-1,080 per kg.
Following are today's metal rates (in Rs per kg):
Zinc ingot 116-122, Nickel plate (4x4) 1,075-1,080, Gun metal scrap 227, Bell metal scrap 229, Copper mixed scrap 398, Chadri deshi 285.
