Commodity Market Report
Global nickel long-term outlook Q1 2021
Report summary
With Tsingshan's latest news ending the bull run, nickel prices are now heading lower and will likely continue on that path given the global surpluses that lie ahead. The coming excess is down to the ongoing unprecedented expansion in Indonesian NPI. It will not be countered by the strength of resurgent demand, which is global and not solely in China. Stronger than forecast demand from EV batteries would help redress this imbalance and perhaps that is what Tsingshan in counting on?
