Russia Ukraine conflict intensifies European energy crisis
Melamine |
The deterioration of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the sanctions imposed by Europe and the United States on Russia will affect the European energy supply, and the European natural gas market will be hit hard. Considering that Russia’s natural gas exports to Europe (pipeline gas + LNG) account for nearly 1 / 3 of its total demand, if the natural gas supply from Russia is seriously blocked, the already high European gas price will soar again. The sharp rise in natural gas prices drives up the price of electricity. The rise in zinc smelting costs may lead to further production reduction of zinc smelting in Europe. The output of zinc ingots in Europe is expected to decrease and the supply of zinc in the future is expected to decrease.
Future forecast
Business analysts believe that this week, the zinc ingot inventory in Shanghai futures market rose, the supply of zinc market was sufficient, and the downward pressure on zinc price remained. The price of zinc ingot in Russia is expected to rise, and the supply of zinc ingot in Europe is expected to decrease.
