The Global Palladium Fund, a precious metals fund, estimates a nickel surplus of 59,000 mt for 2022. The COVID pandemic stopped a planned capacity expansion in Indonesia, leading to a potential deficit of 150,000 mt in 2021. According to the USGS, global production was 2.5 million mt in 2020, with Indonesia as the largest producer at 760,000 mt. The final global and Indonesian production volumes for 2021 have not yet been released. (12/22/2021) |
