0100 GMT - It looks too early to forecast deficits for nickel and lithium markets, despite recent production cuts, says RBC Capital Markets. Nickel supply growth from Indonesia is likely to stay strong, underpinning RBC's expectation that nickel prices will remain low this year. "However, our forecast is for lithium prices to rise in 2025 and 2026 as global EV sales increase, despite increasing supply," analyst Kaan Peker says in a note. "The near-term risk is that Chinese electric vehicle dominance becomes a hotly contested issue along the U.S. election trail." (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
