Indonesia could potentially approve a Nickel ore production quota of c. 260mln/MT in 2026, according to local reporting.

What it means

Indonesia's potential approval of a nickel ore production quota of around 260 million metric tons for 2026 suggests a significant supply-side shift in the nickel market. This move could have substantial implications for global nickel prices, especially given the rising demand from electric vehicle manufacturers and batteries. Traders should monitor reactions in related assets and consider the impact on inflation and commodity-currency dynamics.
