Zinc Market Moving from Tight to Tighter

Zinc price deck increased

Zinc price deck increased — We have increased our zinc price deck for the next several years. Although zinc mine supply is expected to improve in 2018, it will be mostly H2/18 weighted and unlikely to affect refined metal supply until H1/19. We expect that total zinc stocks will remain very low at ~32-33 days of consumption through 2020 (lowest since 1985), lending support to prices. Low stocks and limited mine supply in 2018 could result in a sharp upward spike in prices.  We have increased our 2018 zinc price forecast to US$1.76/lb (from US$1.65/lb); our 2019 and 2020 price forecasts increase to US$1.75/lb and US$1.50/lb, respectively (from US$1.45/lb and US$1.30/lb).

Zinc inventories low and getting lower — Zinc fundamentals remain supportive, with global exchange stocks at 10-year lows (equivalent to just six days of consumption) and the forward price curve now in backwardation through mid-2019, suggesting that the market expects supply to remain tight. We also note that LME zinc cancelled warrants now total ~42% of all zinc in LME warehouses, indicating that the draw-down of zinc inventory should continue.

Treatment charges near record-lows — Spot Chinese zinc concentrate treatment charges for January have been quoted at US$22.50/t, up from US$15.00/t in December, but very low by historical standards (in 2015, the average spot treatment charge was US$201/t). The 2017 benchmark TC was US$172/t (with zero price participation); negotiations on 2018 TCs are just starting, with the miners expecting to retain zero price participation and a lower TC, possibly in the US$150-US$160/t range (-10% year-over-year).

Chinese mine supply weak; refined imports at record levels — Wood Mackenzie forecasts that Chinese zinc mine supply rose 3.6% in 2017; during previous periods of elevated zinc prices (2010/2011, 2006/2007, 1996/1997), Chinese zinc mine production has climbed upwards of 12-15% on a year-over-year basis. Lower availability of both domestic and imported concentrate is constricting Chinese refined zinc production; 2017 refined zinc production was down 0.7% year-over-year, despite a sharp spike in production in Q4/17. Weaker domestic zinc production is leading to higher imports of refined zinc which totalled 676,000t in 2017 (+59% year-overyear), a record-high (previous high: 670,000t in 2009).

That certainly is bullish report on zinc by TD Securities  -   at those forecasted prices on zinc -- CZX has over Cndn $10 Billion of zinc in situ / in the ground value.     Incredible.    At very significant tonnage (over 30 million tonnes) and at very good grades. World class deposit.   Trading at a price that is a great opportunity. CZX:  ...more

Zinc warehouse levels at approx 156000t, USD falling and Canaccord is aggressively buying CZX in the mid 0.30's. Excellent risk/reward from this level.
