SHANGHAI, Jan 28 (SMM) – Social inventories of refined zinc across Shanghai, Guangdong and Tianjin grew 4,300 mt from Friday January 25 and 11,400 mt from Monday January 21 to stand at 117,000 mt as of Monday January 28, SMM data showed.

Downstream purchases declined as the Chinese New Year approached, while social warehouses continued to see arrivals from smelters. This accounted for the gains in zinc social inventories.

SMM expects social inventories of refined zinc across Shanghai, Guangdong and Tianjin to continue to grow this week.

LME Zinc Plunges 2.5% from Four-Year High, Driven by Chinese Export Expectations and Copper Pullback

[SMM Flash] Sep 10 — LME zinc plunged from its highs. As of 19:00 Beijing time, LME zinc fell to USD 3,960/t, down around 2.5%. The price reversed sharply just one day after hitting a more-than-four-year high of USD 4,065/t yesterday. The decline was mainly driven by mounting expectations of Chinese export deliveries onto the LME, compounded by a sharp pullback in LME copper amid shifting tariff expectations, which weighed on risk appetite across the base metals complex. Keep watching the LME time spreads (contango/back) and the pace of zinc warrant deliveries going forward.
