Rising nickel prices are a hot subject among traders today and we’re diving into why interest in the precious metal is increasing.
Let’s get right into the nickel prices rising news below!
- The first thing that investors need to know is that prices for nickel are rising alongside increasing demand for the metal.
- Part of that has to do with the rise of electric vehicles (EV), which require nickel for their production.
- In fact, we just saw Talon Metals (OTCMKTS:TLOFF) sign a deal with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) to supply it with nickel concentrate.
- Another factor affecting nickel prices is the diminishing reserve of the metal.
- On-warrant nickel stocks on the market hit 48,846 tons.
- That’s the lowest inventories have been since December 2019.
- As a result, prices are increasing on the London Metal Exchange.
- This has nickel reaching a price of $21,430 per ton.
- That’s the highest the price of the metal has been since May 2014.
Jinrui Futures analysts said the following about nickel prices in a statement obtained by Mining.com.
‘Nickel prices are expected to remain strong in the short-term amid low inventories and destocking expectations, but increasing capacity from Indonesia will curb further increase in the medium- to long-term.”
