TCs of imported zinc concentrate (50%) should fall $ 2.5 to $ 200-215 per dry metric tonne (DMT) in July on growing demand, Shanghai Metals Market foresees.

SHANGHAI, Jun. 26 (SMM) - TCs of imported zinc concentrate (50%) should fall $ 2.5 to $ 200-215 per dry metric tonne (DMT) in July on growing demand, Shanghai Metals Market foresees.

"Strong demand from zinc smelters and supply tightness in South China, including Hunan, Sichuan and Guangxi will grow demand for imported zinc concentrate”, SMM zinc analyst explains.

Rising profit from imported ore also increased buying of imported goods, SMM added. Profit from imported zinc concentrate expanded 30 yuan to 550 yuan per tonne (zinc content) above that from domestic zinc concentrate this past week.

Domestic zinc concentrate TCs will hold stable at 5,300-5,500 yuan per tonne (zinc content) in July, SMM predicts.

TCs of domestic zinc concentrate (50%) were 5,300-5,500 yuan per tonne this past week, and those for imported zinc concentrate (50%) slid to $ 200-215 per dry metric tonne (DMT), SMM data show.

Peru sees 1 million t/y copper output boost within five to six years

Peru's Energy and Mines Minister Guillermo Shinno said the country expects to add about 1 million tonnes of annual copper production within five to six years through new mining projects. The world's third-largest copper producer anticipates 2026 output of 2.5 to 2.7 million tonnes, roughly unchanged from 2023 as declining ore grades and recurring social conflicts weigh on supply. The newly elected government is seeking to reverse that stagnation by cutting red tape; in the two months since taking office, mining companies have stepped up engagement with the ministry. Shinno said officials have identified 27 permits that could be eliminated from roughly 100 mining-sector requirements, without lowering environmenta
