WSJ: Slump in Nickel prices has forced several operations to shut down

Full WSJ article (subscription required)

Nickel is off over 30% this year, forcing several operations to shut down or reduce output. Analysts quoted in the article expressed mixed opinions about how far away a potential floor for prices is.

Wherever that near term floor may be, my interest is always piqued when prices in something drop below the cost of producing it.

I'm going to do some research to get a better understanding of the fundamentals.....
