"HONG KONG—Chinese nickel titan Tsingshan Holding Group faces billions of dollars in trading losses, people familiar with the company said, after
Russia’s war in Ukraine set off an unprecedented rise in the price of a key metal used in stainless steel and electric-vehicle batteries.
The paper loss stood at $8 billion on Monday, before
violent moves in nickel prices led the London Metal Exchange to suspend trading in the metal on Tuesday, one of the people said. Late Tuesday, the exchange said it anticipates trading won’t resume before Friday.
Tsingshan couldn’t be reached for comment. Chinese media outlets reported the $8 billion loss earlier Tuesday."
