Global zinc short-term outlook July 2022
Report summary
After dropping by $900/t from the high in early-June, the zinc price stabilised at just under $3000/t in July as financial markets calmed. This was despite the outlook for the global economy looking increasingly gloomy. Despite the retreat in the zinc price, the refined zinc market remains fundamentally tight, the cash to three months backwardation has persisted and exchange stocks continue to drift lower.
