SHANGHAI, Jun. 19 (SMM) - Operating rates at all steel tire plants in Shandong fell over 10% in May. Some small tire plants in the region which did not meet requirements remained closed in June.

How did this affect local zinc oxide plants?

NBS: China Zinc Output Falls Remarkably in May

Overall, local zinc oxide plants were barely affected. Some small zinc oxide producers in Shandong slashed or ceased production, but medium and large ones witnessed steady orders, SMM survey showed. These producers absorbed orders from small ones.

On the one hand, Teck Resources has signed an annual zinc concentrate contract with a 45% increase in TCs to $230/dmt. An escalation clause was included: if the prices of zinc exceed $3,800/mt, TCs will rise by $0.05/mt for every $1/mt increase in the prices of LME zinc, but if the zinc prices fall, TCs will remain unchanged (the same as the 20%/80% price sharing scheme in China).
