RE:Zinc metal stocks continue to drop I work with overseas suppliers and the Chinese Governments new environmental policies (which were long oerdue) are taking a lot of production offline as part of their green initiatives. Not only zinc but zinc is where we're going to notice it the most and first.
Imports rose massively year over year last month to cover the shortfall. The price has to go alot higher to try and bring global mediocre grade miners back online but that still won't cover it.
It'll be an interesting ride....
