> If the red line shows a 4.8% reduction in the small 1991-1992 recession I need to find some old price data, since I wonder how much zinc prices dropped going into the recession before production dropped ? Zinc prices have dropped almost 40% in the last 12 months (from 1200ish to 766) and we really are not too far into the current recession. Here's zinc production data from 1900-to-1998. pubs.usgs.gov Over a 10% drop from 1974-1975, not too much in 1981-82 This data is from a new and VERY useful USGS online project I just found: pubs.usgs.gov They have data going back to 1900 for many commodities. They cover aluminum, lead, silver, tin, and zinc Don't see copper, gold, or nickel.
