*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
2018 was a tumultuous year for zinc. Improving fundamentals in the form of declining metal stocks were overwhelmed by the negative sentiment generated by the trade spats between the US and most of its major trading partners. If as forecast, zinc's fundamentals can reassert their influence on price movements, 2019 is set to be another tumultuous year, with the price projected to revisit its 2018 highs.
