| | | Finnish Recycling - The Practical Way to Recycle and Reuse | |

| | | Base Metals - Ready for the Summer Break | |
| At the start of the year, RECYCLING m@gazine published a survey of a poll of researchers that listed their forecasts of average base metal prices for this year. The survey, which reported the forecasts of 22 analysts, threw up some interesting differences of opinion and so we thought it might be worthwhile at the mid-point of the year to see how things were panning out. Once again, we would note that to a considerable extent price movements have depended on the behaviour of funds and commodities generally have benefited from a weaker dollar and safe haven buying against stock market weakness. However, in the case of individual metals, fundamental developments have played their part in determining direction and it is such developments we examine below. |
