Nickel is an important industrial metal, often used as an alloy to strengthen other metals. It has a wide range of uses, from stainless steel production to coins and batteries. In the commodities markets, nickel is traded in the form of either ingots or powder. Nickel prices are typically quoted in US dollars per pound and have been historically volatile due to changes in global supply and demand.

By using contracts for difference (CFDs) derivatives, traders can speculate on the rise or fall in prices of metals like Nickel. You can enter into a long position if you think the Nickel price is going to increase, or a short position if you think the Nickel price is going to decrease.

Nickel is an important metal to trade in, due to a number of factors. It has high electrical and heat resistance, making it ideal for applications such as batteries and electronics. Its steel-grey color makes it attractive for decorative uses; its malleability allows it to be worked into thin sheets; and its low melting point makes it useful in welding and soldering. Besides, it is also a strong and relatively inexpensive metal, making it attractive for industrial uses. By trading nickel, you can take advantage of the price fluctuations for your own benefit.
However, there are other metals on the market that offer similar characteristics as Nickel and could be used in its place. Copper is a great alternative as it also has high electrical and heat resistance, making it suitable for use in electronic components. It's also cheaper than Nickel, so opting to trade in Copper instead could save you money.
