I agree with this statement. For the evidence, please see the following.

What we can see on these plots is the steady increase in the price of nickel over the past 6 months and a nice demonstration that within the last 30-60 days the London Metal Exchange (LME) stocks have been declining. Although the 6 month stock is still relatively high - this current downward trend could quickly change that. To be safe, we should not get completely ahead of ourselves as the stock of Nickel appears to be near 6 month and 1 year highs.
Ultimately these are lagging indicators - and everything changes in the future. So if demand picks up, supply lags, the stocks decrease, price rises, NOT soars.
