GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
Studies say that Global lead and zinc markets could be in deficit this year. Lead demand all over the world will rise by 4.10% to 8.26 million tonnes while production is set to rise by 3.8 pct to 8.21 million tonnes, leaving a deficit of just over 50,000 tonnes in 2007. This would mark the fifth consecutive year the market has been in deficit. The increased rate of demand is mainly due to a further 12.40% increase in usage in China, where demand is benefiting from increased vehicle production. China also tops the production list, where output will rise 12% this year. Lead prices are currently around 35 pct higher than this time last year. Worldwide demand for zinc, which will rise 4% to 11.45 million tonnes, is expected to outstrip refined production, which will rise 7% to 11.40 million tonnes, leaving a deficit of just under 40,000 tonnes. Demand growth will be primarily driven by growth in Asia with China leading the way, expected to report an 8.40% increase in usage on the year, mainly due to "further expansion in the galvanized sheet sector. Chinese exports are expected to exceed 450,000 tonnes for the first time since 2003.  We had mentioned in our earlier reports that zinc should be the best performer among the base metals which is being reflected by the fundamental side. However zinc and other base metals could fall 15% to 20% at any point of time and still maintain the bullish trend due to changes in speculative interest.   Gold and silver are firm on the back of US dollar weakness. Copper prices are consolidating at the moment before the next move. Base metals will continue to be the key driver for precious metals. Investors apprehension over rise in base metals has resulted in profit taking at higher levels. Investor caution over the rise in global equities can be reflected by movement in Dow Jones which opened more than hundred points higher but closed thirty seven points higher. Nasdaq and S&P closed in the red. A mixed performance from US stock markets. Expect volatility to rise in gold and silver unless there is a technical break out.
