SMM June 12:

Spot premiums in Ningbo rose this week, up 25 yuan/mt WoW. As of this Friday, spot prices in Ningbo against the 2607 contract were quoted at parity, with a premium of 40 yuan/mt against SHFE; the premium against SHFE maintained a fluctuating trend during the week. Zinc ingot supply in the Ningbo market was ample during the week, with traders actively selling and quoting. Futures zinc prices fell sharply, prompting downstream enterprises to actively purchase at low points. Overall spot transactions improved noticeably, and spot premiums rose accordingly. Given the off-season consumption showing no improvement, next week's premiums are expected to be hard to rise significantly.
