The Market

摘要

This month we increase our average zinc price forecasts for 2010 and 2011 by 5c/lb to 95c/lb. In making this modest increase we note that our outlook for the zinc market is largely unchanged. Our rationale is as follows: Our higher average price forecast simply reflects the fact that in the first part of the year prices held up longer than anticipated. Our average lead price forecasts remain unchanged at 90c/lb for 2010 and 2011.
