A year ago spot Ni was $3.90/lb. 5 months ago traded at $5.25. Last night Ni price dropped another 2.5% to close at $4.09. Graph below shows the massive swings over past 12 months with past 6 weeks very bearish. Going below $4.00 is like oil breaking $50. As much psychological as it is bearish. WSA our best Ni mine but is powerless to control what consumers will pay. Goldies are falling like flies and yesterday WSA had a massive swing below $2.00 before recovering. Eventually Ni miners around the world will throw in the towel but seems a tough time lies ahead (at least over the shortish term) for almost all types of commodities e.g. IO and coal are feeling similar pain.

Some relief overnight (friday) as Ni rises 1.5%. Been a torrid week for commodities esp IO, coal and oil.
