Falling nickel prices hitting higher cost producers
After a good 2022, nickel prices are now feeling the pressure of rising Indonesian production and generally soft economic conditions. Although nickel equities don’t appear expensive for the long-term, shares are now fighting a headwind of lower prices and margins are compressed enough that several would be in difficultly should prices weaken another 10-20%. David Radclyffe’s views are mostly negative to neutral, his preferred nickel equities are IGO and Sherritt, while he has SELL ratings on Vale Indonesia, Norilsk Nickel and Nickel Industries.
