EUROPEAN MORNING BRIEF 06/02: Most SHFE base metals in negative territory; Arconic plans global portfolio review; Chinese, European vanadium prices soften
Date: Feb 7, 2018
Good morning from Metal Bulletin’s offices in Shanghai as we bring you the latest news and pricing stories on Tuesday February 6.
Much like yesterday, most base metals prices on the Shanghai Futures Exchange were under pressure during Asian morning trading on Tuesday, with sharp falls in the US stock market overnight damping market sentiment.
Nickel prices continued their recent run of weakness as they led the complex, with the exception of tin, lower for the second day in a row.
