In October, China exported 7,600mt of refined zinc, and 63,500mt in total from January to October, down 75.3% YOY. Drastic decline in refined zinc import volume was due to sluggish downstream demand, thus imported goods moved very slowly in domestic spot market; coupled with the ratio between domestic and overseas spot products is still below 8, zinc smelters will loss more by making importis, causing obvious decline in imported refined zinc volume.
