Global nickel short-term outlook December 2020

Report summary

Nickel prices surge past US$17,000/t as SHFE nickel stock fall to their lowest level since June 2019. Other signals also point upwards: Chinese NPI supply is expected to tighten in 2021 so disruptive protests in Indonesia and New Caledonia will be an added concern; European stainless is looking stronger as higher prices could trigger re-stocking; Covid inoculation programmes have boosted market sentiment which is further supported by the future of electrification.
