On the eve of the release of August CPI data in the United States, the cautious atmosphere in the market rose, and the US dollar index strengthened again, with the London Nickel closing 3.03% lower overnight. In a short time, frequent disturbances occur at the mining end in Indonesia; The rainy season was approaching in the Philippines; Due to pollution issues, the Indonesian government had recommended five nickel mines to suspend production and rectify, providing support for nickel prices.
