Nickel Sulfate Market Weak

Published: Oct 19, 2023 14:33
From the perspective of downstream precursors, there is currently no obvious raw material gap, and the price of nickel sulfate is still at a relatively high level, so there is a strong wait-and-see attitude. The current market activity is weak.

Nickel sulfate: On October 18, the SMM battery grade nickel sulfate index price was 32,234 yuan/ton, which was 1 yuan/ton lower than the previous working day. The battery grade nickel sulfate price was 32,100-33,000 yuan/ton, and the average price was 32,100-33,000 yuan/ton. day was flat. From the current supply side, as raw materials are still tight and prices are high, salt factories are reluctant to sell spot goods, and the mentality of raising prices still exists. From the perspective of downstream precursors, there is currently no obvious raw material gap, and the price of nickel sulfate is still at a relatively high level, so there is a strong wait-and-see attitude. The current market activity is weak.

[SMM Stainless Steel Flash] Canada Nickel Embeds Carbon Capture to Pioneer Net-Zero Mining at Crawford
According to Open Access Government, Canada Nickel Company is pioneering net-zero mining at its Crawford Project by integrating carbon mineralization directly into its workflow. The site, expected to produce over 48,000 tonnes of nickel and 500,000 tonnes of 304-grade stainless steel annually, utilizes ultramafic rocks to permanently sequester CO2. Through patent-pending In-Process Tailings (IPT) carbonation and a recent successful in-situ underground pilot funded by the US DOE, CO2 is converted into stable carbonate minerals. This dual approach not only offsets emissions but naturally fractures the rock, lowering energy and grinding costs. This positions Crawford as a scalable template for a net-zero industrial cluster, turning carbon management into a core value driver.
