SHANGHAI, Jun 29 (SMM) – Zinc inventories in China rose over the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, propelled by Guangdong and Tianjin where saw concentrated arrivals.

SMM data showed that social inventories of refined zinc ingots across Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and Hebei rose 5,500 mt from last Wednesday June 24 to 223,900 mt as of Monday June 29. The stocks were up 3,000 mt from last Monday June 22.

Compared to last Wednesday, social inventories of refined zinc across the three major trading hubs (Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangdong) grew 5,700 mt.

Concentrated arrivals at north China’s Tianjin over the holiday included Zijin cargoes, while stocks in south China’s Guangdong climbed as smelters increased shipments and as downstream consumption there was sluggish.

Stocks in east China’s Shanghai edged down over the holiday due to bargain-hunting by downstream consumers.

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.
