Kevi, nickel rose 5-6 cents from $8.9554 to $9.0099 per pound, so the gain is less than 1%. That's based on the Kitco charts figures. I agree that the nickel miners are getting interesting - IGO, PAN and WSA have all retraced quite a bit. Watching closely.
I haven't found a free and reliable daily source of closing percentage changes for base metals, unfortunately. If anyone has a source, please share.
