Report summary
The ongoing downgrade to our demand outlook, to reflect the global recession we believe is now unavoidable, leaves the nickel market with a substantial cumulative surplus for the 2020-2022 period. Even assuming China recovers quickly and that there is no second wave there, the outlook for the next couple of years is a bleak one of sustained low prices. The projected oversupply could be partly redressed by more widespread production cuts but prices are not currently low enough to force that. But lower nickel prices are coming.
