Flipitmoney

Nickel retreated from its 19-month high, with three-month futures falling after spiking 10.5% to $18,800 a ton. The surge was driven by risks to Indonesian output and investment in China's metals markets. Nickel production may be reduced in Indonesia due to new regulations. The metal declined 1.2% to $18,295 a ton, joining copper, aluminum, zinc, and lead in a decline.
