Commodity Market Report
Global nickel short-term outlook January 2021
Report summary
2021 will be a year of recovery. Strong percentage growth in nickel demand coupled with increasing optimism spurred by the roll out of Covid vaccines and the easing of restrictions, and resurgent fervour over the future of electrification, will keep nickel prices rising. However, despite the market returning to deficit in the second half of this year, renewed oversupply will undermine prices in 2022.
