Alpha.metals – What is with Nickel?

Financially strapped airlines cut back, postponed or cancelled orders for new aircraft, reducing demand for nickel based super alloys. In case of tin, the apparent consumption declined by 17% in 2009 compared to 2008. This was attributed to global economic slowdown. So if both metals were affected by the slowdown, how can we know which one will do better than the other? Performance cycles work across time frames and tell us how an asset is going to outperform the other. The demand – supply news should follow the cycle.

Long Nickel, short Tin delivered 15% since 14 Jan. The other running pairs are Long Silver – Short Gold, Long Silver – Short Copper. The respective pairs are still in negative territory. The anticipated reversals are in lead-Gold, Platinum-Gold and Palladium – Gold. The latest Alpha Metals carries numeric rankings, strategy update and performance cycles.
