Imported Zinc Prices Catch up with Domestic Zinc on Supply Shortfalls, Discounts Expand in Guangdong, SMM Reports

SHFE zinc price rose about 14% in the first half of 2017. Zinc ore production decreased due to lower ore grade, environmental protection and weather reasons. Output at zinc smelters fell in response. Domestic zinc smelters were also affected by maintenance and environmental protection. At the same time, imported zinc ore and zinc ingot were also less than expected. These reasons are the most important reason driving up zinc prices, SMM said.
