According to customs data, in June 2026, China's refined zinc exports were 2,300 mt, down 1,600 mt MoM. By trading partner, the main destinations were Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore, accounting for an overall export share above 92%. From the perspective of export profit, although the spot export window to Southeast Asia occasionally opened in June, the window was relatively small. Additionally, spot sales in Southeast Asia weakened MoM and were not smooth, leading to a slight edge down in overall exports.
