re: nikel price
For what it's worth Tadingroomcom.au states that Ni ROSE last night from US$11,725 to US$11,750, which is very close to the BBC figure of US$11,747.50. But I note that the BBC quote states that it is the UNoffical closing price, so I am not certain if it's completely comparable to the quote by Tradingroom.
My broker reports the closing metal prices each day but, unfortunatley he has not displayed last night's closing prices. But if we compare their closing Ni qoute for last Monday of US$11,905, it would mean (assuming it's correct) that the price of Ni DROPPED by US$155!
From previous conversations with my broker on this issue the confusion is often caused by the fact that the quotes don't always differentiate between the final OFFICIAL price and the final UNofficial price.
Sorry I can't be any more help but it may become clearer tomorrow I hope!
