With regard to zinc, the second round of central eco-environmental protection inspectors will be launched in an all-round way recently. Seven central eco-environmental protection inspection teams have been set up and the inspectors have been stationed for about one month, of which Tianjin is also among them. Consumption in Tianjin is weaker than expected due to the inspection and suspension of production by acid-related enterprises, which weakens the boost of consumption expectations anchored in the early stage of the market. Short-term environmental protection in the lower reaches of Tianjin has an impact on consumption, or limits the rise of domestic zinc prices. Looking forward to September: the macro mood is still optimistic and zinc prices can still be expected, but in the short term, environmental protection in the lower reaches of Tianjin has an impact on consumption, or limit the height of domestic zinc prices, the follow-up should pay attention to the impact of environmental protection and inventory changes.
[SMM monthly Outlook] Zinc prices in Shanghai are limited by environmental factors, but zinc prices can still be expected in September.
In terms of tin, in the short term, in terms of macro, fundamental and technical aspects, the price of tin is more favorable. In the medium term, we should always pay attention to Sino-US relations and foreign epidemic control, which will eventually affect the source and export volume of tin mines, and loose relief will support tin prices to a certain extent; fundamentals within 2-3 months, there is a certain supply support below tin prices. On the supply side, the reduction in tin production in Myanmar is expected to last until October, with a reduction of about 1000 metal tons per month. In addition, about 2700 tons of tin were imported in July, which was almost consumed in July and August. The domestic silver mine is under construction, and the supply of tin ore is expected to return to about 600 tons of metal in the normal plant in September. Taken together, it is expected that tin supply will be reduced by about 2000 tons in September compared with August, which may support tin prices. On the demand side, preliminary research shows that the output of the solder industry increased slightly in August compared with July, which is related to the traditional peak season of the industry.
[SMM monthly Outlook] tight supply, small increase in demand, short-term tin price is expected to be high.

Comex futures rose on Monday, as the US Federal Reserve (Federal Reserve / FED) dovish policy shift dragged the dollar to its lowest level in two years, but gold prices will fall for the first time in five months.
