Spot Zinc Premiums in Guangdong Invert on Ample Supply

Spot premiums on #0 zinc in Guangdong against October delivery SHFE zinc contracts inverted from 300 yuan per tonne to discounts of 20 yuan per tonne at one point, SMM finds.

SHANGHAI, Sept. 14 (SMM) - Spot premiums on #0 zinc in Guangdong against October delivery SHFE zinc contracts inverted from 300 yuan per tonne to discounts of 20 yuan per tonne at one point, SMM finds.

“The reversal is due mainly to growing supplies there,” said an SMM zinc analyst. Zinc smelters in South China actively released goods, which believe the outlook for zinc prices is unpromising. Continuous inflows of imported zinc since mid and late August also added to supply. Besides, demand from zinc alloy plants in and around Guangdong remained soft, despite a slight improvement.

Wider spot discount failed to boost purchases

Spot premiums in Shanghai rose to 70 yuan/mt on February 18 from zero ahead of CNY due to costs during CNY holidays. However, spot premiums turned into wide discounts as of February 25 as SHFE copper prices surged, which stood at around 250 yuan/mt, a decline of nearly 460%. This signified that investors were selling aggressively to generate cash amid cash flow issues. Downstream inquiries were brisk but sellers refrained from lowering their quotes, with spot discounts stabilising between 150-140 yuan/mt.
