Latest Sentiment SummaryFeb, 12 20266.8Moderately PositiveThe sentiment around Indonesia's nickel trading sector in February 2026 is largely positive, driven by continued robust demand for battery-grade nickel, successful downstreaming efforts, and strategic government initiatives to attract investment in the EV supply chain. However, this positive outlook is moderated by growing international scrutiny regarding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, particularly concerning waste management, deforestation, and the carbon intensity of some processing methods.
