Nickel prices have seen a significant surge, extending their rally on the London Metal Exchange (LME). This sharp increase is primarily driven by news of production quota cuts at PT Weda Bay Nickel. As Indonesia's largest nickel producer, these reductions by PT Weda Bay Nickel are set to tighten global supply. The market reaction has been swift, with LME nickel extending its impressive 20% rally. Analysts anticipate that this supply constriction will likely maintain upward pressure on nickel prices in the near term.
