Zinc hits five-year high as metal traders bet on China rebound
1st November 2016
By: Bloomberg
JOHANNESBURG/NEW YORK – Zinc touched the highest in five years as the London Metal Exchange’s annual LME Week began with investors betting that a rebound in demand from China will underpin prices. Mining stocks also climbed.
Metals are extending their advance after China’s economy stabilised in the third quarter, expanding 6.7% from a year earlier, to bolster the outlook for commodities demand. Zinc prices have gained 53% this year amid a growing supply shortage.
“The strong zinc fundamentals remain unchanged in the past weeks,” Richard Fu, the head of Asia & Pacific at Amalgamated Metal Trading, in London, said in an e-mail. “The general macro economic figures in China recently are not bad.”
Zinc for delivery in three months rose 2.6% to settle at $2 458 a metric ton at 5:50 pm on the LME, after touching $2 479.50, the highest since August 2011.
