This is wrong, the outlook for nickel is quite good. The outlook for nickel with 100% offtakes in place is even better. Read the WSA annual released yesterday for the updated and current consensus views on nickel, including the rationale behind that outlook.

Plenty of money being taken out of commodities, and a lot will be coming back in when it inevitably turns. We are critical mass on many with costs of production unsustainable, leading to eventual shortages. When that money comes back investors and instos will be judicious in what they buy, hence why quality assets and companies will be where the action is.
