MAJOR EVENTS Precious metals may perform on a positive note with promises of price rise in 2016,

according to the London Bullion Market Association(LBMA) survey. “Contributors to

the 2016 Forecast Survey are predicting price increases across the board for all four

metals,”

The survey contributors foresee modest increase of 1.1% in the gold price and a more

bullish outcome for the white metals with price increases of 5.4% for both silver and

platinum and a more significant increase of 12.7% for palladium prices. This year

LBMA analysts are more bullish about the prospects of precious metal prices than

they were in last year’s survey. Whilst analysts are bullish this is only expected to be a

partial recovery with prices of all four metals forecast to be some way below last

year’s highs.

This is largely driven by steady performance following the December FOMC, severe

tensions over the equity market sell-off and demand for safe havens against FX

volatility and geopolitical concerns.

WTI Oil plummeted over 6% during trading on Monday with prices edging closer to

$31 as tepid manufacturing data from China, the world’s largest energy consumer,

renewed fears that demand may be dwindling.

These anxieties added to the rapidly fading expectations around OPEC cooperating

with Russia to curb production, while ongoing concerns over the excessive oversupply

of oil in the markets continued to haunt investor attraction. Although there was some

initial optimism directed towards Russia’s willingness to slash production, Saudi

Arabia remained defiant on the idea of any cuts, while Iran had already pledged to

pump up to 1.5M barrels a day in a mission to reclaim its lost market share.

The visible clash of interests from various cartel members combined with an

appreciating Dollar has added to oil’s woes consequently obstructing any opportunity

for a recovery in prices. WTI remains firmly bearish and this horrible combination of

record high productions, a heavily saturated oil markets and fears over sluggish

demand should encourage sellers to attack oil prices towards $30.

Global Zinc market

to grow to

19.19MMT by 2020

in terms of

consumption.

In terms of consumption, the global zinc market was 15.8 million metric tons in 2015,

and this will increase to 19.19 million metric tons by 2020, growing at a CAGR of

3.96%.

The global zinc market is highly fragmented, with primary and secondary smelters

accounting for 56% of the market. China was the global leader in the manufacture of

zinc in 2015. Other prominent suppliers of zinc are Australia, India, South Korea,

Japan, and Latin America. “Even though smelting capacity is high, the actual supply of

zinc will be lower than the rated capacity due to the depletion of mines. This will

negatively impact the zinc supply in Southeast Asia and the EU. Smelters around the

world have been facing a supply deficiency since 2011,” as per the report.

This has resulted in reduced capacity utilization in production plants. Capacity

expansions will be done on a large scale by smelters in China during the forecast

period. Expansion project investments (both Greenfield and Brownfield) will be

carried out in countries such as South Korea, Japan, Kazakhstan, and India to increase

smelting capacity.
