Report summary
A record copper price and worries about Chinese smelter production helped the zinc price to consolidate around $3000/t in May. The price strength coincided with a pick up in US and European premiums and spot treatment charges. Although many of the world's major economies are gaining momentum as their service sectors open up, growing supply chain constraints threaten to cap growth in demand. The problem continues to be the most acute in the automotive sector, but home appliance companies and house builders are also being affected.
