Total zinc inventories across seven Chinese markets stood at 119,800 mt as of September 30, down 11,500 mt from September 27 and 9,400 mt from September 24.

SHANGHAI, Sep 30 (SMM)—Total zinc inventories across seven Chinese markets stood at 119,800 mt as of September 30, down 11,500 mt from September 27 and 9,400 mt from September 24.

The inventory in Shanghai declined sharply amid increasing pre-holiday restocking by downstream plants. Guangdong saw a decrease in stocks as maintenance at smelters affected the shipments and downstream producers still have pre-holiday restocking demand. The inventory in Tianjin trended lower due to limited arrivals of cargoes and pre-holiday stockpiling.

Inventories in Shanghai, Guangdong and Tianjin fell 9,600 mt, and inventories across seven Chinese markets decreased 9,400 mt.

[SMM Flash] Sulphuric acid prices in some regions dropping below 1,000 yuan/mt

Since 10 July, SMM Chinese sulfuric acid price index from Copper smelters has declined for 11 consecutive weeks on a weekly basis. This weekend, sulphuric acid prices were further reduced in some regions, with the ex-works price of 98% smelting acid falling below 1,000 yuan/mt. However, demand from the fertiliser industry has yet to show any clear improvement, and there are no signs that exports of sulphuric acid and phosphate fertiliser can be restarted, leaving the market dominated by a strong wait-and-see sentiment.
