Nickel: what to look for in 2016
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The features of 2015 - weak demand, especially in China, high stocks and low nickel prices - are likely to continue through the first half of 2016. Prices staying low until mid-year will be intolerable for many producers and some will be forced to cut or close, perhaps by the end of Q1. With demand moderately better in H2, the prospect of nickel stocks entering a period of steady decline will improve.
