Commodity Market Report
Global nickel short-term outlook June 2020
Report summary
Nickel prices remain buoyant as the world continues to ease its way out of lockdown. The combination of lost demand due to the pandemic and continuing rapid ramp up of new NPI capacity in Indonesia is pushing the nickel market further into oversupply. Production cuts are unlikely at current nickel prices but this could change if the coming recession is longer than forecast, as might be caused by a “second wave” of coronavirus.
