LONDON, March 16 (Reuters)

The London Metal Exchange (LME) halted nickel trading on its electronic system almost immediately on Wednesday in a chaotic resumption of business for a market that has been in limbo for over a week.

The LME nickel market was suspended on March 8 after China's Tsingshan Holding Group bought large amounts of nickel, propelling the metal up more than 50% in a matter of hours.
Another excellent article from Doomberg.

It's one of the crazier trades you will ever see.  I knew it was necessary for batteries but I never really considered nickel a precious metal until lately.  It's just about in that league.
