2、 Market analysis

 

In the past two days, nickel prices have rebounded sharply. On the one hand, Indonesia’s first case of virus infection has emerged, and the uncertainty of nickel supply prospects in India has boosted prices. On the other hand, since March, due to the effective control of the domestic epidemic, the provinces have returned to work one after another, and the downstream demand is expected to boost.

 

3、 Future prospects

 

Future forecast: considering the impact of Indonesia’s ban on mining and the rainy season in the Philippines, domestic smelters and traders have stockpiled nickel ore in advance. Since September last year, China’s import of nickel ore has increased significantly, so the current supply of nickel ore is relatively abundant, so the impact of the epidemic on the supply and demand of nickel ore is limited. However, the downstream recovery gradually supports nickel price, and it is expected that the short-term fluctuation of nickel price will be strong.
