Report summary
As coronavirus heightens fear of global recession, nickel prices tumble. Although near-term supply and demand forecasts are cut, the long-term outlook remains intact. Future nickel production is dominated by Indonesian NPI and a strong ramp up in nickel chemicals to feed battery supply chains. Demand growth is supported by still more new stainless melting capacity in China and accelerating need for nickel in batteries, as the world's vehicle fleet goes electric.
