Nickel Price
• SUPPLY
• DEMAND
• Nickel price remains in contango
• Polymetallic Ni-Co-Cu-PGE deposits some of the highest value per tonne
deposits on the planet
Ø Indonesia growing to ~75% global production = they’ll own the market
Ø “ONEC” could manage supply and pricing – price floor providing “headroom”
Ø Ore grades falling = costs rising
Ø Ore royalty increase = costs rising
Ø Increasing push for ESG compliance = costs rising
Ø Stainless steel ~68% global demand = function of GDP growth
Ø Analysts routinely underestimate nickel demand – it grows at 2x copper
Ø Key component of EV battery chemistry and energy transition = demand kicker
Ø You’re not going to build humanoid robots with LFP battery chemistry!
