Global zinc long-term outlook Q3 2018
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The Global Zinc Metal Market Long-term Outlook provides the latest update of detailed supply and demand analysis and price forecasts for the zinc market out to 2040. Although new mine supply and the escalating trade wars have dominated the zinc market in 2018, the fundamental outlook is little changed – stocks of metal are being depleted and are set to fall to very low levels in 2019 and remain low until 2020. Such low stocks are forecast to provide fundamental support to the zinc price which is forecast to recover from current levels during the course of 2019 reaching a cyclical high in 2020
