Report summary
Nickel prices retreat and backwardation narrows, as the withdrawal of a large tonnage of nickel from LME warehouses raises concerns of irregularities. We continue to assess the impact of the Indonesian ore export ban and re-evaluation of ore supply and the ongoing ramp up of Indonesian NPI means there will be a little more nickel available that previously thought. New research of nickel use by the makers of battery precursor materials has completely revised our outlook for nickel demand in batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage.
