High-temperature batteries and Nickel

High-temperature batteries needs nickel; their prices have moved together.

High-temperature batteries (energy) and Nickel (commodity): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Material need

Physical flow · Direct · Nickel → High-temperature batteries

Building or running High-temperature batteries needs nickel.

2. Price link: electrode metal

Cost and price · Weak · Both ways

Sodium-nickel chloride cells use a nickel cathode, so nickel is their main metal cost. The broad US battery proxy shows no link to nickel, with monthly moves at -0.02 and yearly moves at 0.23.

• -0.02 monthly change correlation
• 0.23 12-month change correlation
• -0.09 fitted elasticity
