Tight supplies improve spot zinc trades in Shanghai
But trades in Tianjin weakened as cautious sentiment deterred downstream consumers

In the northern Chinese market of Tianjin, however, trades weakened from the previous day as cautious sentiment deterred downstream consumers. Deals mostly occurred for cheaper products.
