At 7:30 am CST, indications were nickel was selling up at $.44/lb (nearly 1/3 of LME stored nickel is cancelled warrants, with news in last few days that two mega mines, Goro and Ravensthorpe, expected to start producing nickel next year, won't until at least 2008, is making traders nervous. This will cause forecast deficits next year to widen.)
