The Chinese Nickel, Ni Pig Iron and Stainless Market Prospects for 2012 How is nickel supply adapting to lower prices? What are realistic expectations for the maturing nickel pig iron sector? Nickel demand: It s not all about stainless steel what are the prospects for nickel s nonstainless markets? Metal Bulletin Research has partnered with one of the leading authorities on metal markets in China to produce a comprehensive and in-depth study on the nickel sector. Whether from a supply perspective, demand perspective or investment perspective, China is at the centre of the global nickel market and will remain the major swing factor. This study, The Chinese Nickel, Ni Pig Iron and Stainless Market Prospects for 2012 is a one-stop shop providing independent research, insightful on-theground analysis and authoritative forecasts on China s nickel market, and its role in the broader global marketplace. Special focus: Nickel Pig Iron In less than a decade, China s nickel pig iron sector has gone from nothing to producing as much nickel as the world s top conventional producers. The sector s price sensitivity is diminishing as it matures and technology is refined. This study dedicates a full chapter to nickel pig iron, including unique insights, producer profiles, new project details, production forecasts, cost analysis, and product application in the stainless industry. If nickel pig iron is here to stay, who will make way? NEW
