Abstract

This paper first of all examines the notion of an equilibrium price for a mineral cоmmodity market. It draws the conclusion that microeconomic theory alone cannot define such a price. It then recapitulates on the reasons for price fluctuations and shows that one can at least identify a floor price and a ceiling price when it proves impossible to identify an equilibrium price. To conclude, it proposes a method for price forecasting, based on a prior analysis of the relevant industrial structure involved.
