At the Multi Commodity Exchange, nickel for delivery in December month was trading lower by 50 paise, or 0.06 per cent at Rs 790.40 per kg in a business turnover of 174 lots.

Marketmen said the fall in nickel prices was mostly due to offloading of bets by participants due to muted demand at the spot markets and a subdued trend overseas.
