European debt problems plagued the market again.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 9 (SMM) – European debt problems plagued the market again. As the market concerned Spain is unwilling to officially apply for bailout, the euro weakened while the US dollar index continued to rise, pushing down LME zinc prices. Finally, LME zinc prices closed at USD 2,034/mt, down USD 40/mt or 1.93%.
