China Zinc Concentrate TCs Seen Fall Further

Domestic zinc concentrate TCs are expected to fall further in the near term due to ore supply tightness, SMM says.

SHANGHAI, Jul. 15 (SMM) – Domestic zinc concentrate TCs are expected to fall further in the near term due to ore supply tightness, SMM says.

A few mines in Guangxi, Sichuan and Yunnan slashed or suspended production due to heavy rains, SMM understands. Concentrate transportation was also slightly affected.

Losses from imported ore expanded 100 yuan to 1,600 yuan per tonne (zinc content) compared with domestic ore this past week, SMM calculates. Most zinc smelters refrained from buying imported goods now that TCs of imported ore were mostly around $ 100 per dry metric tonne (DMT).

TCs of domestic zinc concentrate (50%) were 4,800-5,100 yuan per tonne (zinc content) this past week. Those for imported zinc concentrate (50%) were $90-120 per dry metric tonne (DMT), with the low-end of $80.
