The nickel market has experienced significant shifts due to US tariffs, leading to changes in trade dynamics. The European Union is actively exploring options for domestic production as it faces a lack of self-sufficiency. Price hikes in the market are driven by the growing demand from the battery industry. Additionally, there is no consensus on the criteria for defining green and sustainable nickel, with social considerations playing a role in ESG evaluations. These factors highlight the complex and evolving nature of the nickel industry.
