Is nickel plated ABS magnetic?

Does nickel plated abs have strong magnetic property when placed with a rare earth magnet.

I can answer that nickel is ferromagnetic, and nickel plated ABS is likely to be somewhat magnetic, but it difficult to be more responsive than that to an abstract question because there are many formulations and alloys and conditions. Please describe your situation. The more a question is "simplified", the less worthwhile the answer :-)
