Report summary
Nickel prices rally on the weak dollar, strong 300 series stainless worldwide and ongoing challenges to supply due to Covid and the container shortage. Battery demand for nickel is increasing and investors remain bullish on electrification and the evolution to a greener economy. These fundamentals will support high prices through Q2 and into the second half, despite China's stated intent to restrain commodity prices.
