Not Enough Nickel to Meet Demand says Korean Battery ManufacturerCrux Investor2Likes35Views14 Sept2023Recording date: 12th September 2023Nickel had another test of $20,000 and once again it held up and trading in the lower end of range of $20-$22,000 range where it has been sitting since early June. Again, have been expecting several month break below this range but this has yet to happen – trend technically squeezing against this support level and with now seeing some LME inflows (still not much 1,000 tonnes) may finally go through in the next few weeks.Have seen continued improvements in ore and NPI prices driven by combination of a couple of factors:- Chinese stainless production continues strong y-o-y growth – 17-20% in August and September- Nickel has had a “shipping coal to Newcatle” moment recently as the Indonesian governmentinvestigated and dealt with illegal nickel ores and stopped the approval of new quotaapplications which has resulted in ore coming from the PhilippinesKorea trip again interesting. Key piece is how much nickel they will need – justone of the players at one stage - and there are multiple players at each step (precursor-cathode-battery) will need more nickel.Indonesia talking about a free trade agreement with the US (make it IRA-eligible) – may see something limited, but Chinese control of most assets would defeat the whole purpose of the IRA to get China out of critical material supply chains.Nickel Institute published clarification around CBAM in Europe (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) – this is a mechanism which will eventually create a premium for lower carbon products (like Canada Nickel will be producing from Crawford).From 1st October 2023, FeNi and NPI producers will have to measure the carbon footprint oftheir products according to the requirements defined in the Annexes of the CBAMImplementation Regulation.From end of January 2024 onwards, data on the carbon footprint must be reported via atemplate submitted to the CBAM Portal.From 2026 onwards, companies importing FeNi and/or NPI will have to purchase CBAMcertificates to compensate for the carbon footprint of the imported goods. The amount ofcertificates that FeNi and NPI importers have to purchase will be gradually increased. In 2026,certificates for only 2.5% of the total carbon footprint of a product have to be surrendered,. Thiswill gradually be increased until 2034, when 100% of the carbon footprint has to be covered.
