Report summary
An improvement in market sentiment and an element of short-squeezing saw the LME zinc price rise to over $1850/t in Q1 2016, following a retreat in base metal prices in the second half of 2015. We expect a significant drawdown of concentrate stocks this year, due to planned production cuts and recent closures. We estimate a global concentrate deficit of 624kt Zn in 2016 with stocks falling to critically low levels by mid-year, equivalent to 30 days of smelter requirement.
