Zinc Prices

15-04-2026 - Over the past month, zinc prices have experienced an upward trend, rising from $3,253.37 per metric ton to $3,322.43 per metric ton. This increase suggests a steady rise in market demand or possible supply constraints affecting the zinc market. However, the forecast predicts a decrease to $3,230.32 per metric ton, a 2.8% drop from the current price of $3,322.43 per metric ton, indicating a potential downward trend. This forecast highlights the risk of market volatility impacting raw material prices.

The forecast also points to a significant downward price impact of -$25.5 per metric ton due to demand factors, particularly from the global economy. While technical data suggests upward pressure, the overall demand, flows, and supply data indicate a downward trend for zinc as a raw material. Recent analyses align with this forecast, predicting a potential decline in LME zinc prices over the next month, consistent with the forecasted price of $3,230.32 per metric ton.

According to Trading Economics, zinc prices are expected to trade at $3,373.51 per metric ton by the end of this quarter, suggesting a downward trend from current levels. This projection supports the forecast's direction, indicating a potential decrease in zinc prices in the near future.
