Is #Nickel Still an Oversupplied Market, or Is the Story Shifting?

Nickel is no longer just a surplus story. In this extract from our recent #Metals Market Webinar, we explore how tightening sulphuric acid availability and rising production costs, particularly in battery‑grade nickel, are reshaping market dynamics.

Could policy‑driven supply controls and higher cost floors change how investors assess downside risk? And what does this mean for pricing in the months ahead?

Are Supply Disruptions Turning into Demand Destruction?

As conflict-driven supply shocks persist, #metals markets are increasingly being viewed through a demand lens rather than a supply one.

In this extract from this week’s Metals Market Webinar, Daria Efanova, Head of Research at Sucden Financial, explains why indicators such as delivery times, spot premiums and order books may offer clearer signals of stress ahead.

Could prolonged disruption reshape how metals are priced and traded?

We recently had the pleasure of hosting our very first ‘YES Day’ in collaboration with the @EastEnd_CF, and what a fantastic day it was.

Volunteers from Sucden Financial generously shared their time, experience, and insights with an inspiring group of young people from Circle Collective. Together, we focused on raising career aspirations, building confidence, and expanding access to professional networks.

The day was packed with activity, from a panel discussion on navigating careers in finance, to hands-on CV workshops and mock interviews, finishing with a lively trading game challenge.

We were proud to support EECF's #LifeChances campaign and @circlecollectiv #BackYourFuture initiative and hope the day helped empower young people from the East End of London who face barriers to sustainable employment.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers and partners at EECF and Circle Collective for making this possible, and we wish the participants every success in their future careers.

#Copper Outlook - Are we seeing the start of a new cycle or liquidity‑driven spikes?

The metal has recently pushed to fresh highs and, as Daria Efanova explains, the next moves may hinge less on fair value and more on flows with systematic participation amplifying intraday swings.

Into Lunar New Year, seasonally thinning liquidity and an inventory reshuffle could keep price discovery choppy and range‑driven in the near term, even as the 2026 balance looks thin, leaving the market sensitive to any new supply disruption.

Questions we ask
🔹 Are we watching a fundamentals story or a positioning story?
🔹 Do rising exchange stocks + contango signal de‑risking ahead of holidays?
🔹 How should markets price the tariff risk premium into mid‑2026?

Liquidity can look fine on the surface in #basemetals and #preciousmetals, until it isn’t.

In this extract from our Metals Market Webinar , Viktoria Kuszak unpacks why today’s price strength may be masking fragile underlying liquidity, with systematic flows dominating price discovery and reduced natural selling from producer hedging, a set-up that can turn routine positioning into non-linear moves and price gaps when conditions tighten.

Key metrics we’re watching for signs of stress:
🔹 Nearby spreads tightening into backwardation.
🔹 Sudden withdrawal of exchange stocks
🔹 Exchange margin hikes that reduce balance sheet capacity/market-making activity
🔹 Macro shocks & tariff headlines that can trigger synchronised corrections across base and precious metals

We believe speculative momentum in precious metals flows has become overextended, increasing the risk of sharp contractions if sentiment turns.

Gold & Silver: How Durable Is the Rally?
In yesterday’s Metals Market Webinar, we break down why #gold’s upside can stay supported by geopolitics and elevated US political uncertainty, while #silver is being pulled more aggressively by financial flows and positioning.

🔹 Is the silver market really easing in 2026, or is metal still ‘unavailable’ because it’s tied up in ETPs and leasing remains tight?
🔹 If this move is being driven more by financial conditions than near-term fundamentals, how sharp could reversals be when confidence turns?
