Nickel prices peaked in early September and then traded lower on greater downside economic risk and hints that Chinese stainless may stutter in Q4. The next rally may wait until after the Chinese New Year holiday in February 2021, with steady global economic recovery taking shape mid-year. But the prospect of continuing oversupply, from three-years of surging Indonesian NPI production will undermine prices from then on.
