Global nickel prices have probably hit a floor, says Macquarie
Global nickel prices may have hit a floor, according to a Macquarie analyst who sees a market recovery driven by strong demand from the steel sector and as a surplus of ore supplies shrinks after Indonesia slowed production permits.
“Our belief is that we’ve seen the bottom, we’ve seen the supply adjustments, we see the uncertainty in future supply, and that is giving us quite a lot of support where the prices are today,” Macquarie analyst Jim Lennon told a conference this week.
He forecast LME cash nickel prices at $17,379 per metric ton this year, down from $21,491 per ton last year.
The price could rebound to $20,500 per ton in 2025 and gradually rise to $23,000 per ton in 2028, Lennon said.
