To be sure, a further rally in nickel prices may be capped by the threat of substitution, Mark Pervan, head of research at Daiwa Securities SMBC, said from Melbourne on May 17. ``Nickel is vulnerable to substitution, like we saw in 2005.''
Stainless steelmakers last year used less nickel, choosing to use more manganese and molybdenum to increase the strength and anti-corrosive properties of the alloy. In contrast with the gains in nickel prices, molybdenum prices gained 10 percent this year to $61 a kilogram as of May 12, while manganese has fallen 18 percent, according to Metal Bulletin.
