SHANGHAI, Mar 16 (SMM) – Zinc inventories in China continued to trend higher over the weekend, as arrivals at south China increased and as limited cargoes were delivered from warehouses in the south and east.
SMM data showed that social inventories of refined zinc ingots across Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and Hebei stood at 340,500 mt as of Monday March 16, up 5,600 mt from Friday March 13 and 2,600 mt from Monday March 9.
