Shanghai: the center of gravity of zinc in the future moves up, the smelter continues to cherish the sale, and the tax reduction in the market is expected to continue to promote better market transactions. The domestic quotation in the morning market is directly raised to 60-70 yuan / ton, and the quotation disappears quickly after the low price is closed. The domestic quotation is lifted to 7080 yuan / ton in rising water. At the same time, the monthly difference of the contract in recent months is converted to Back structure, and the monthly difference is once enlarged to 3050 yuan / ton in rising water. Some traders turned to about 110 yuan / ton in May, because the quotation was raised too quickly, and there was no real hammer in the lower tax point for the time being. The market turned to cautious quotation and raised to 80 yuan / ton. However, the market is still looking for low-priced active buyers, and the overall trading atmosphere has not cooled. On the other hand, the downstream participation in tax points is relatively limited for the time being, and the interest in purchasing and buying is restrained after the quotation is raised, and the overall transaction within the day is still dominated by traders.

In addition, some will report a 140 yuan / ton increase in the April contract, and the Baohui newspaper will raise the water around 100-110 yuan / ton on the April contract. In the first period, there are more market inquiries, but the willingness to receive goods downstream is relatively light; after entering the second trading session, the market quotation is basically unchanged, and the transaction situation is very dull. Overall, today's market turnover is worse than yesterday.

Today, most of the transactions are received by traders, while downstream enterprises are at a high level because of the current zinc prices and rising water. Poor willingness to receive goods, only just need to purchase. On the whole, most of today's transactions are between traders, while trading for downstream enterprises is light.
Zinc price: overnight zinc recorded a big positive line, the top pressure 20 moving average, the bottom support 5-day line. In recent days, Trump has repeatedly boosted zinc prices, and overnight Trump called for a $2 trillion infrastructure investment plan, a move that has given a big boost to zinc prices, but there are still uncertainties; domestic tax reform expectations have led traders to hoard goods and push up spot sales, but downstream are less willing to pick up goods.
