Overall, the prices of all three metals fluctuated over the year, but nickel experienced the most significant volatility, while copper and zinc showed relatively steadier trends. Notably, nickel was the only metal to undergo two periods of negative growth.
In January, nickel recorded a sharp rise of 6%, significantly higher than zinc (2%) and copper (1.5%). However, its price declined steeply over the next few months, hitting a low of -3.5% in June. Although there was a brief recovery in July, nickel dropped again in October to around -1.2%, before a slight rebound at the end of the year.
Copper and zinc followed a more similar pattern, both peaking in February at approximately 3%, then steadily falling until mid-year. After June, zinc demonstrated a consistent upward trend, finishing at 1.5% in December. Copper also recovered, but at a slower pace, ending the year with a modest gain of 0.8%.
