NEW DELHI, Sept 15: Supported by rising demand from alloy-makers in domestic spot markets, nickel prices moved up by 0.55 per cent to Rs 662.60 per kg in futures trade today.
Nickel for delivery in September moved up by Rs 3.60 or 0.55 per cent to Rs 662.60 per kg, in a business turnover of 974 lots at the Multi Commodity Exchange.
