Report summary
Nickel prices decreased at the start of January, as Tsingshan began producing pure metal, before rallying later in the month on Chinese hopes. Demand across stainless steel and batteries will improve on the final months of 2022, but the question is by how much? Last year's excess NPI might remain unused until 2024 while Class 1 tightness will ease as more intermediates become available and as Tsingshan adds to its metal-producing portfolio.
