Prices of Nickel, Cobalt and Lithium Set to Ease as Supplies Rise
(Bloomberg) — Battery-metals prices are set to retreat from highs this year as surging supplies trigger gluts, a leading Chinese industry group warned following a similar note of caution from Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
Nickel prices are likely to drop in the second half as the global market may experience a surplus on rising supply from mines in Indonesia, according to Chen Xuesen, a spokesman for the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association. Cobalt and lithium carbonate prices may also ease, Chen said, according to a statement on the group’s WeChat account. No estimates were given.
