Global nickel short-term outlook June 2022
Report summary
Nickel prices fall back steeply on economic concerns stemming from rising inflation, interest rates and energy costs. At the same time stainless markets in China and Europe are weaker, prices are falling and orders have dried up. In China, the anticipated demand rebound after the recent Covid outbreak has not happened while in Europe, with the summer break looming, an improvement is now unlikely before September.
