Quote:... The nickel surplus shrank to the least in a year in March after production fell for two consecutive months, data from the International Nickel Study Group showed.
World output beat demand by 1,700 tons in March, the smallest amount since February 2007, when there was a deficit of 4,000 tons, the Lisbon-based group said in a May 16 report. Nickel dropped $251, or 0.1 percent, to $26,149 a ton. Aluminum slid $45 to $2,995. Lead declined $92 to $2,250 a ton and tin fell $500, or 2 percent, to $24,150.
