Top 5 Canadian Nickel Stocks of 2025

Nickel prices have experienced volatility in the past few years due to supply and demand uncertainty.

This trend has continued into 2025, and is expected to remain in place for the year. While this environment has been tough, some nickel stocks are still thriving amid the ongoing uncertainty.

Nickel Price Update: Q2 2025 in Review

After spiking above US$20,000 per metric ton (MT) in May 2024, nickel prices have experienced a downward trend, mainly remaining in the US$15,000 to US$16,000 range.

Indonesia's elevated production levels have been a primary factor contributing to these low prices, as sustained high output continues to oversupply the market. The supply surplus has had a knock-on effect, putting pressure on western producers who have been forced to slash their production to maintain profitability.

Elevated output coincides with electric vehicle (EV) demand, which is under threat as market uptake has slowed, and policy changes in the United States are expected to increase costs for consumers and lower sentiment for the vehicles.
