【Two giants cooperate deeply in battery recycling field!】The latest news on April 16th, according to Volvo Cars official Weibo account, Volvo Cars announced the signing of a strategic cooperation memorandum with CATL, and the two parties will deepen cooperation in the field of battery circular management. According to the agreement between the two parties, in the future, Volvo Cars will recycle retired batteries from its new energy vehicles sold on the market, as well as batteries scrapped in the factory production process, and hand them over to Volvo-certified downstream suppliers for dismantling, extracting more than 90% of nickel, cobalt, lithium and other metal materials. CATL will use these newly extracted recycled materials to produce new batteries and use them in the production of Volvo Cars' new vehicles.

With the support of their respective R&D departments, the two parties will also establish an efficient, collaborative and transparent management mechanism to ensure that the entire process fully meets Volvo Cars' quality standards and complies with relevant laws and regulations.

[9.3 Morning Meeting Notes] The US Fed gained another hawkish voice, with the probability of a September rate hike rising to 66.9%. Governor Barr said he would support a rate hike if inflation fails to ease further. Combined with Warsh's earlier hawkish signals, the market is now focusing on the August CPI to be released on September 11—the most critical data before the September 15-16 FOMC meeting. Barclays now expects the US Fed to hike rates once each in September and December. The most-traded SHFE nickel 2610 contract drifted lower in early trading, closing the morning session at 126,690 yuan/mt, down 0.84%. The rising probability of a September Fed rate hike to 66.9%, the global bond sell-off, and a stronger US dollar are creating multiple headwinds. Nickel's own high inventory and weak demand remain unchanged. In the short term, the most-traded SHFE nickel contract is expected to trade in the range of 125,000-131,000 yuan/mt.

The 2026 El Niño event continues to intensify, with international climate monitoring indicating that this could be one of the strongest El Niño events on record. Indonesia is already experiencing significant heat and dry conditions, with El Niño expected to peak in September. According to SMM, the current water shortage at IMIP is mainly affecting carbon steel production, while nickel production has not yet been impacted. However, if the dry weather and water shortages persist, further pressure on industrial water supplies could increase the risk of nickel production cuts.
