A quieter day today across the complex as we continue to try and digest the moving feast of equity indexes and multiple government spending bill plans. It remains to be seen if the factory ramp-up will be followed by consumer demand, or simply a glut of inventory.


Vale halted their VNC refinery operation that removes 5% annual refined class one nickel capacity form the market, however as this is not refined FPC we see this more as a premium rather than flat price impact.

Quarterly Metals Report – Q4 2021

The global macro picture is starting to present some downside risks in the near term as China's economy is set to slow further and supply-chain bottlenecks continue to cap growth. New orders and new export orders in China are contractionary, and we expect demand in Q4. Order backlogs and lead times for products will continue in Q4, limiting growth, and real consumption is weaker than it looks. Higher costs from shipping, raw materials and energy will take their toll on the consumer, and we expect end-user demand to suffer. The final piece of the jigsaw is the reduction in stimulus from central banks and how that will impact financial markets, bond yields, and the dollar has rallied while stocks corrected, but what will this trend continue?
