Nickel used in batteries already doubled in 2021. Does it belong in your portfolio?

Nickel used in EVs soared from 8% in 2020 to 13%.

Most analysts expect this trend to accentuate significantly over the next decade.

How big will this awakening be?

For exposure, here are some names to consider:
– SOUTH32 LIMITED | S32
– Nickel 28 Capital Corp. | NKL
– MINCOR RESOURCES NL | MCR

Are any of these companies in your portfolio?
