SHANGHAI, Jun. 22 (SMM) - Spot premiums on #0 zinc contracted noticeably on June 22 from yesterday, SMM noted.

SMM learned imported zinc is more popular with downstream buyers compared to domestic zinc. Sluggish trading of domestic zinc weighed down premiums of domestic resources.

Cargo holders, at the same time, frequently lower spot premiums to push sales because of fears that spot premiums will fall further.
