For the trend of zinc prices in the first quarter of 2021, SMM believes that overseas energy problems in 2022 are still the biggest risk point. At present, the upward shift in refinery costs brought about by electricity prices in the first quarter is difficult to alleviate. If European refineries further extend the cut-off time and increase production reduction efforts, zinc prices will rise rapidly, and the annual high is expected to occur in the first quarter.

China International Capital Corporation believes that even though more new projects will be put into production from 2022 to 2023, the overall supply and demand of lithium is still tight, because lithium resource projects generally need a capacity climbing cycle of half a year to two years according to different resource types and process paths. the effective supply contributed by new production projects is relatively limited. Taking into account the complexity of the development of lithium resources, the long-term progress of new supply is also easy to be lower than the current market expectations, so the duration of supply and demand shortage may still exceed current market expectations.
