600,000 ton copper deficit for 2011, page-2

....and Zinc is predicted to perform well in the future....

"Zinc will be the best-performing industrial metal this year, advancing as much as 21 percent to $2,800 a ton from $2,308 in London on Dec. 24, according to a Bloomberg survey of more than 100 analysts, traders and investors. The metal for three-month delivery in London declined 0.4 percent to $2,447.50 a ton at 4:42 p.m. in Tokyo yesterday.

The zinc market will be relatively supported over the next 12 months by resilient emerging-market demand, new demand from physically backed zinc exchange-traded funds as well as a significant slowdown in mine production growth in China, Deutsche Bank AG said in a report on Jan. 11. The bank forecast zinc prices will average $2,475 a ton in 2011. "
