The LME will also bring in new rules setting daily upper and lower price limits for contracts for nickel and other base metals. The exchange was forced to suspend trading last Tuesday and cancel trades after Chinese tycoon Xiang Guangda&#8217;s company Tsingshan Holding Group bought significant amounts of nickel to cover short positions. Despite the metal&#8217;s rising price, the world&#8217;s largest nickel producer, kept buying, driving the price even higher. Last Tuesday, nickel touched a price double of its Monday closing price of $48,078 &#8211; already affected by concerns about a supply shock from Russian sanctions.<\/p><p>We are seeing prices of commodities violently surge and then retrace whipsawing retail traders out of their positions if they lose discipline and chase the markets. However, listening to producers who find the metal in the ground, they are now re-rating their forward guidance based on prices for base metals like nickel staying elevated for longer. This then becomes a problem for the end user of the base metal or whichever commodity is in question. Ideally the price would be passed on to the customer, but that has its limits too.<\/p><p>Market participants, including the European Steel Association, have commented on the impacts on the manufacturing sector. Furthermore, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which do not contain nickel, have been less expensive. Thus, they are more likely to be used in some EVs than nickel containing NCM (nickel, cobalt, manganese) and NCA (nickel, cobalt, aluminium) storage solutions. Elon Musk recently Tweeted that Tesla and SpaceX were seeing significant inflation and if you go on to the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2OccOTY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tesla<\/a> configurator the prices have already increased as the manufacturer passes on the increase in raw materials. The largest price increases being on the Model 3 Performance, SUV\u2019s and Model S. It is unlikely that the Tesla\u2019s will be switching to cells with less nickel, so the only hope is for base metals to come back to the mean.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3f5e542 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3f5e542\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d38c8a\" data-id=\"5d38c8a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-465f144 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"465f144\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Picture2-3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-23801\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-47580c1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"47580c1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9db9ce0\" data-id=\"9db9ce0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca4ae42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ca4ae42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Commodities do come back to the mean; we saw it in lumber a year ago and US wheat futures plunged last week as traders said the rally sparked by Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine had made the grain too expensive for buyers. With lumber the initial supply shock came undone when the lockdowns finished, but weather and supply chain bottlenecks during a period of increased demand has sent the price of lumber back towards those highs again.<\/p><p>The most active Chicago Board of Trade soft red winter wheat contract fell 7.7%.

Watching what the owners do or the producers do is a key indicator of when the markets may be topping out. In the Autumn of 2021, one of the largest owners of container shipping effectively locked in their prices at an elevated level for 5 months, knowing full well that they were on to a good thing regardless of whether the price went up a little more but if the bottlenecks eased and shipping routes continued to get busier. This helped to cap the rise and to help their customers in the long run. But ultimately, it means they have now had 5 months of elevated profits. For the trader, shorting the Baltic Dry Index (BDI)when a major player caps prices would have been the savvy trade to make. The BDI is a shipping and trade index created by the London-based Baltic Exchange. It measures changes in the cost of transporting various raw materials, such as coal and steel, and is often cited as a health check on international economics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e6622bb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e6622bb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0e590af\" data-id=\"0e590af\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-318d85b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"318d85b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3CIYfzf\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wheat-1d.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-23803\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-756f379a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"756f379a\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-49bdb0c1\" data-id=\"49bdb0c1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-416f9450 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"416f9450\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3CIYfzf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See real-time quotes<\/a> provided by our partner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5b9d457 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b9d457\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-13f1120\" data-id=\"13f1120\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a387a1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a387a1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>Looking at the price of wheat on the ActivTrader platform the clear bounce off the 50% retracement showed buyers are still in control though these buyers may be speculating more on the uncertainties around Ukraine continuing for longer.

This to me signals that they are preparing to lock in these higher prices for when we go back to historical average prices.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bfc9c6b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bfc9c6b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2673e0c\" data-id=\"2673e0c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ad1ac2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8ad1ac2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3CIYfzf\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wheat-4h.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-23804\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-408b62b9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"408b62b9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4fb6ca85\" data-id=\"4fb6ca85\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66c6fef3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"66c6fef3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3CIYfzf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See real-time quotes<\/a> provided by our partner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6e9e902 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6e9e902\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-318e2b3\" data-id=\"318e2b3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd925d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd925d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>On an H4 chart the wheat price action would appear to be well tested with little left in terms of imbalance.
