Indium price will rise steadily in 2008
From 2007, lead and zinc price raised continuously whichbrokenhistorical highest price records. As lead and zinc price inthehigh-priced, there were many small lead-smeltingfactories,electrolytic zinc factories and zinc oxide plants wentintooperation which accumulated indium that associated with leadandzinc. It provided abundant of resource to manufacture indium.Asabundance of indium raw material and lead and zinc inhigh-priced,so the profit in lead and zinc business are large andhas lowervaluation of indium. Therefore, in the period of 2007,indium inwhich the lead and zinc scoria that was in the state ofhalf ornon-valuation, which made the cost of indium materialreduced andindium output increased and indium price reduced.
However, the lead and zinc pricewillgraduallyreduce in 2008. Indium raw material supply willnotincrease butlikely to reduce. The productive capacities ofmostsmallenterprises can not restore. The increasing ofauxiliarymaterialsprice and workers’ wages are as norm, reserve ofindium isalmostused up, for these reasons the indium price willincrease in2008.Although the indium price might reduce greatlyaround theSpringFestival, it almost reaches the lowest. Thesimilarbetween2003-indium market and the 2007-indium market is thatthemarketwas surprisingly slack before indium pricerebounded.Therefore,the risk of reserve sale is lower. Where thereis reserveofindium, there is hope.
