COMIDRA Nickel Index
Evaluated (UTC): — · Price date: —
Historical reconstruction using the latest published data; not a real-time historical record.
- This 0–100 score summarizes selected inputs relative to their own history. Higher values indicate more upward pressure. Input composition differs by commodity; some scores use inventories only.
- Coverage is the available share of configured input weights, not prediction accuracy. Below 60%, the current score is not shown. Price is for comparison, not an index input.
- History is recalculated using the latest published data, not the exact information known at each past date. This is a descriptive indicator, not a validated or guaranteed price forecast.

Nickel Price
Nickel Price. This is a daily nickel benchmark quoted in U.S. dollars per tonne, not the delivered price for every nickel product. Nickel grade, regional premiums and freight can differ, so use the series mainly to follow broad market direction and volatility.

LME and SHFE Nickel Stocks
LME and SHFE Nickel Stocks. Exchange stocks are nickel reported in LME and SHFE warehouse systems, not total inventories held across the global supply chain. Falling stocks can suggest tighter exchange availability, but the exchanges cover different products, warehouses and reporting dates.

LME Nickel Price, Stocks and Warehouse Flows
LME Nickel Price, Stocks and Warehouse Flows. Cancelled warrants are LME warehouse lots earmarked for possible withdrawal; the cancelled ratio is not metal already removed.

USGS U.S. Nickel Production and Consumption
USGS U.S. Nickel Production and Consumption. Primary nickel comes from newly mined material, while secondary nickel is recovered from scrap; the chart compares both with U.S. mine output. Apparent consumption is calculated from supply flows, while reported consumption comes from respondents, so the two need not match.

U.S. mine production
Reported and apparent consumption
- USGS (U.S. Geological Survey) is the U.S. federal science agency that publishes mineral production, trade and supply information.
- Primary nickel comes from newly mined material, while secondary nickel is recovered from scrap; the chart compares both with U.S. mine output.
- Apparent consumption is calculated from supply flows, while reported consumption comes from respondents, so the two need not match.

USGS U.S. Nickel Trade and Import Reliance
USGS U.S. Nickel Trade and Import Reliance. Ore and concentrate are mined feed, primary nickel is newly produced metal, and secondary nickel is recovered scrap material. Net import reliance is the share of apparent consumption supplied by imports minus exports, not simply imports as a share of use.

USGS U.S. Nickel Stocks
USGS U.S. Nickel Stocks. Consumer stocks are inventories reported by U.S. users, while LME U.S. stocks are metal in LME-approved warehouses located in the United States. Because locations and reporting populations differ, the two series should be compared separately and not added as a complete U.S. total.

USGS U.S. Nickel Import Sources
USGS U.S. Nickel Import Sources. Primary nickel is newly produced material, while nickel scrap is recycled feed; each bar is a supplier's share for the stated reference period. The shares describe source concentration over that period, not current monthly flows, and the two panels have separate totals.

USGS Nickel Production and Reserves by Country
USGS Nickel Production and Reserves by Country. Mine production is nickel recovered from mines; reserves are deposits economically recoverable under current conditions, not all resources. A greater-than sign marks a published lower bound, and reserve changes may reflect prices, technology or new geological information.
