Tailwind from India for nickel

"However, the trend towards strong growth in demand from India and a possible global economic recovery in the second half of 2024 should also provide a tailwind for nickel prices." That is the conclusion experts at Deutsche Bank (DB) draw about the nickel market. In the short term, however, market participants are more likely to "mope around." Why? Currently, the Chinese industry would not yet show any new strength. In addition, the real estate market there would cast a shadow over the entire economic development.

But the nickel price is heavily dependent on Chinese demand. "Two-thirds of the nickel supply is used for stainless steel production, half of it again in China," says the analysis of the DB experts. In the medium term, however, a global economic recovery should drive nickel demand up again. This could start as early as the second half of 2024. In addition, demand for nickel is likely to increase significantly in India in particular. And then there is electromobility. With the current prevailing technology, a lot of nickel is needed for the batteries required. The sector will therefore absorb more and more of the industrial metal from the market. In the medium to long term, therefore, there is much to be said for a recovery in the nickel price. Those who would like to bet on the end of the downward slide already today – as is well known, the nickel price has plummeted since the beginning of the year – can get in indirectly with the shares of companies with nickel products.

One might think of the Canada Nickel Company – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/canada-nickel-company-inc/ . Canada Nickel Company’s flagship project is the Crawford nickel-cobalt project in Ontario, Canada. In addition to nickel, lithium is also needed for electromobility and the energy transition.

In the lithium sector, Targa Exploration – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/targa-exploration-corp/ – is working on its lithium projects in Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario. Acquisitions will bring the total area of Canadian lithium projects to around 412,000 hectares.
