Total zinc inventories across seven Chinese markets stood at 127,800 mt as of November 8, down 6,600 mt from November 5 and 12,900 mt from November 1.

SHANGHAI, Nov 8 (SMM) – Total zinc inventories across seven Chinese markets stood at 127,800 mt as of November 8, down 6,600 mt from November 5 and 12,900 mt from November 1.

The stocks in Shanghai fell sharply as downstream producers ramped up restocking on dips. Guangdong saw a decrease in arrivals of goods as downstream buyers increased restocking on falling prices last Friday and the direct shipments from smelters to downstream producers increased. The inventory in Tianjin continued to decline amid limited arrivals of cargoes in the market and increasing restocking demand from downstream plants. Inventories in Shanghai, Guangdong and Tianjin fell 8,200 mt, and inventories across seven Chinese markets decreased 6600 mt.

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.
