Nuchin also said that if the trillion-dollar bailout is not enough, the government can do more, and hopes that U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell will introduce another aid bill for the COVID-19 epidemic next week.

China's official manufacturing PMI in August was 51.0%, down 0.1% from the previous month, indicating that the manufacturing sector as a whole is running smoothly. Overall, the macro mood is optimistic, the superimposed dollar index has fallen below 92, the lowest since May 2018, and the weak dollar has led to a rise in zinc prices.

From a fundamental point of view, from a supply point of view, the overhaul of domestic smelters is basically completed and normal production resumes. At the same time, according to SMM research, as of August 28, the processing fee of domestic zinc concentrate is 5550 yuan / metal ton, up 550yuan / metal ton from the previous lowest level of 5000 yuan / metal ton, smelter profits are further improved, and domestic supply is expected to increase month-on-month in the short term. Consumer side, in the context of gold, silver and silver, pay attention to inventory changes, but the short-term downstream of Tianjin environmental protection has an impact on consumption, the follow-up need to pay attention to the impact of environmental protection.
