" for if and when nickel decides to get its knickers in order again."
I wont hold my breath on that happening soon, Kip.
My prediction is 2019.
What brilliant analysis do I base that on? The words of a Chinese gentleman who predicted exactly what happened re iron ore prices. He was spot on, every step of the way.
He had been the head man regards to China's iron ore for something like 35 years.
He predicted 2019 as the earliest possible recovery for iron ore. And I'm sure base metal prices will follow suit....... with zinc maybe doing better than the others, and earlier, too.
At the end of the day, it will all depend on China, really.
So Crooky better pour some more mothballs down Blair in the meantime...
