Report summary
After hitting lows in March in the midst of the wholesale panic in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, the price has staged a modest recovery climbing above $5200/t on several occasions in the second half of the April. It would seem that the risk to mine supply and the potential for further disruption is outweighing the negative consequences of a collapse in demand. Other potential factors include a sharp recovery in Chinese economic activity and tight scrap availability.
