Today's forecast zinc price: overnight, Lun zinc market is closed. Short-term attention to the resumption of work and production in overseas mines, if the tension at the end of the mine is transmitted to the shortage of raw materials in the refinery, it is expected to provide support to lun zinc. Overnight, Shanghai zinc received a long shadow line, the middle rail of Brin Road below to provide support, and the 20-day line above to form a resistance. After the two sessions are held, there is no further favorable policy. It is expected that after landing, the poor willingness to buy in the lower reaches of the superimposed high level will lead to a slowdown in social storage, and Shanghai zinc will return to weak operation. In the future, we need to pay attention to whether the mine end problems will continue to support prices.

 

Today's forecast: the price of lun zinc is expected to operate in the range of US $1950 to 2000 per ton. It is expected that the contract price of Shanghai Zinc 2007 will run within the range of 16,100Muth16600 yuan / ton, and it is expected that domestic zinc will drop by 80 yuan / ton.
