* Our Philosophy
Knowing why the price is the price provides reasoning and guidance. Our goal is to inform; we do not predict prices. Nickel market is influenced by: 1) Fundamentals: we believe demand relative to supply ultimately determines price and relevant demand vs supply information is essential.
2) Human emotion: humans are not entirely rational beings; caused by fear and greed.
(Herd instinct may cause short-term disruptions)
3) Technical data: we do not utilize technical analysis in our price direction model. Frequently technical indicators are self-fulfilling prophecies. Using the past to predict the future does not work for our purpose.
4) Nickel28.biz: proponent of ‘inefficient nickel market‘.
History highlights: 2023- Indonesia: Tsingshan’s nickel matte is produced in lower carbon footprint OSBS furnaces for smelting laterite nickel ore. OSBS furnaces beneficiate saprolite nickel ore into ~75% nickel nickel matte, matte is converted into nickel sulfate (NiSO4) by solvent-extraction.
Nov 1, 2020– Nickel shortages were alleged: no actual shortages occurred: Price peaks in chart were caused by erroneous nickel shortages that did not happen. **Please click menu-icon: About Publisher & The Basics- click The Basics (in free area)–
