Nickel Mining
Nickel is a critical input for stainless steel production and an increasingly important component in lithium-ion battery cathodes for electric vehicles. The nickel market is split between Class 1 (high-purity, battery-grade) and Class 2 (ferronickel, NPI) products, with different cost structures and end markets. Indonesian NPI supply has disrupted traditional nickel economics, putting pressure on higher-cost Western producers.
