[SMM analysis: fundamentals are not significantly negative zinc prices or can touch the previous high] looking at China, due to the continuous low quoted prices of imported mines, the tightening logic of mineral supply boosting the price logic, and the early release of winter storage demand is also aggravating this tense atmosphere, the pessimistic expectation of zinc supply in the fourth quarter has gradually replaced consumption as the new price anchor, and this medium-term logic has not changed.
