Report summary
The upward march of the nickel price continues despite even more NPI coming out of Indonesia. A resurgence in Chinese demand is expected in March, after the February holiday, and currently strong demand from stainless in other countries will likely continue through Q2. With so much NPI now available to Chinese stainless mills, Class 1 nickel use is minimal, scrap ratios are falling, and the need to keep importing FeNi diminishes sharply from next year.
