China Zinc Concentrate TCs to Fall Further on Supply Tightness

SHANGHAI, Aug. 19 (SMM) - TCs for domestic concentrate in Guangxi, Hunan and Yunnan will fall further in the following weeks due to ore supply tightness, SMM says.

Output cut in Hunan’s Huayuan and Yunnan will exacerbate ore shortages.

TCs of domestic zinc concentrate (50%) were 4,600-4,900 yuan per tonne (zinc content) this past week. A few regions lowered domestic zinc concentrate TCs. Those for imported zinc concentrate (50%) were offered at $85-110 per dry metric tonne (DMT), with the low-end of $80 but no trade reported.
