Amid a weak trend in the global markets and subdued domestic demand, nickel fell marginally by 0.07% to Rs 825.70 per kg in futures trade today as speculators reduced their positions.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), the June contract eased by 60 paise, or 0.07%, to Rs 825.70 per kg in 220 lots.
The May contract also down by 60 paise, or 0.06%, to Rs 818 per kg in 1,035 lots.
Analysts said the fall in nickel prices at futures trade was mostly in tandem with a weakening trend in the base metals at the LME on concern that slowing economic growth in China may curb demand in the world's biggest consumer of metals.
