Global nickel short-term outlook March 2019
Report summary
Nickel prices ended March more or less on a par with those of end-February. Stainless melting rates are increasing in Europe as definitive safeguarding duties have a positive impact. But will Tsingshan start shipping more stainless steel to Europe now that China has introduced preliminary anti-dumping duties on stainless semis from Indonesia? Conference visits to Indonesia and Australia shed more light on NPI and batteries.
