SHANGHAI, Sep 2 (SMM) - According to SMM data, the zinc ingot inventories across seven major markets in China totalled 121,700 mt as of September 2, down 1,600 mt from Monday and 1,800 mt from the previous week. In the Shanghai market, the arrivals were low as some smelters in Shaanxi was under the impact of pandemic. Moreover, most arrivals of brands such as Qilin went directly to downstream enterprises.

Overall, the inventory in Guangdong continued to decline with stable rigid demand.

Overall, the total inventory in Shanghai, Guangdong and Tianjin fell 1,200 mt, and that across seven major markets in China sank 1,600 mt from Monday.
