Report summary
Nickel prices dropped by 20% in early March, triggered by a declaration from Tsingshan that it would soon be able to choose the destination of some of its nickel units between NPI for stainless or matte for batteries. Price pressure from those believing that nickel forms specifically for the batteries route would be in short supply going forward evaporated and prices fell, despite the strength of post-lockdown demand.
